Gender on the Edge: Transgender, Gay, and Other Pacific Islanders by Niko Besnier (2014-04-30) Mass Market Paperback

As academic, social, and cultural interest in third-gender, transgender, gay, lesbian, genderqueer, etc., identities increases and shifts from pathologizing to understanding, it is works like this book that help that process. It is an important contribution to exploring the historical and cultural importance of these people in cultures that have too long been merely, "the exotic other." Anyone seeking to increase their knowledge and understanding of third-gender persons in global cultures needs to include this book in their research and bibliographies.

This edited book is a very valuable addition to the academic work published related to the Pacific and sexuality.
