Migrating Genders presents a sustained description of
male-to-female transgendered identities, explaining how the
fa'afafine fit within the wider gender system of Samoa, and
examining both the impact of Westernization on fa'afafine
identities and lives, and the experiences of fa'afafine who have
migrated to New Zealand. Informed by theories of sex, gender and
embodiment, this book explores the manner in which the expression
and understanding of non-normative gendered identities in Samoa
problematizes dominant western understandings of the relationship
between sex and gender. Drawing on rich empirical material, this
book tells of both the diversity and the uniqueness of fa'afafine
identities, aspects which fa'afafine have maintained in the face of
Westernization, migration, and cultural marginalization in both
Samoa and New Zealand. As such, in addition to anthropologists, it
will be of interest to geographers, sociologists, and other readers
with interests in gender and sexuality.
