Table of ContentsReviews"'Migrating Genders offers a sophisticated account of the promises and perils of using ""transgender"" to frame the encounter between categories of sexuality and genders originating within Eurocentric modernity, and forms of personhood originating elsewhere - a welcome contribution to the burgeoning field of transnational transgender studies.' Susan Stryker, Indiana University, USA 'Migrating Genders is a subtle and insightful analysis of fa’afafine in Samoan society. Drawing upon multisited ethnographic and historical research, Schmidt brings together analyses of tradition and globalization to explore the fa’afafine subjectivity in Samoa, understood as an island and a community of transnational migration. This book will be valuable to scholars and activists with interests in Pacific Studies, as well as studies of sexuality, migration, and globalization.'
