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.
