New Frontiers of Space, Bodies and Gender (Hardcover)

This collection unravels the stereotypical images of gender and space and presents a series of new explorations into both lived and imagined spaces. Through a range of international examples, including discussions of Jamaican Ragga music and female performance, lesbian identity and community in San Francisco, and portraits of a Los Angeles neighborhood seen through the eyes of young girls, this book forges new parameters for debates of gender and space, leaving behind the simple focus on women-as-victim in the public arena.
Taking gender to be something that we "do" rather than merely something that we "are, " the contributors to this book brilliantly consider the interrelation between birth and reassigned genders and sexuality; cultural space; and spaces created by specific communities.
