New Frontiers of Space, Bodies and Gender (Paperback)

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.
