Same-sex relations, transvestism and cross-gender behaviour have long been noted amongst a wide range of Indonesian peoples. This book explores the nature of gender diversity in Indonesia, and with the world's largest Muslim population, it examines Islam in this context. Based on extensive ethnographic research, it discusses in particular \u003cem\u003ecalalai\u003c\/em\u003e - female-born individuals who identify as neither woman nor man; \u003cem\u003ecalabai\u003c\/em\u003e - male-born individuals who also identify as neither man nor woman; and \u003cem\u003ebissu\u003c\/em\u003e - an order of shamans who embody female and male elements. The book examines the lives and roles of these variously gendered subjectivities in everyday life, including in low-status and high-status ritual such as wedding ceremonies, fashion parades, cultural festivals, Islamic recitations and shamanistic rituals. The book analyses the place of such subjectivities in relation to theories of gender, gender diversity and sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sharyn Graham Davies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415695937\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415695930\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.59d","brand":"Sharyn Graham Davies","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919730376959,"sku":"9780415695930","price":68.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ab5e73e7-5bfd-4f36-8405-5458f00d66c8.jpg?v=1680811576","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gender-diversity-in-indonesia-sharyn-graham-davies-9780415695930","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
