Bringing together an international range of case studies and
interviews with individuals who have had genital re/construction,
Body, Migration, Re/constructive Surgeries explores the
socio-cultural meanings of clitoral re/construction following
female genital cutting (FGC), hymen reconstruction, trans and
intersex bodily interventions; and cosmetic surgery. Drawing
critical attention to how decisions around such surgeries are
affected by social, economic and regulatory contexts that change
over time and across spaces, it raises questions such as: How are
bodies genderized through surgical interventions? How do such
interventions express cultural context? How do women who have
experienced female genital cutting respond to opportunities for
clitoral reconstruction? How do female-to-male (FtM) trans people
decide on how and where to undertake body modifications? What roles
do cultural expectations and official regulations play in how
people decide to have their bodies modified? Suggesting that
conventional gender binaries are no longer adequate to
understanding the quest for bodily interventions, this insightful
volume seeks to give a greater voice to those engaged in gender
body modification. It will appeal to students and postdoctoral
researchers interested in fields such as Gender Studies, Social
Studies, Sexuality Studies and Cultural Studies.
