The Transgender Studies Reader 1&2 BUNDLE

by Susan Stryker (Editor), Stephen Whittle (Editor), Aren Z. Aizura (Editor)

Over the past twenty years, transgender studies has emerged as a dynamic field of interdisciplinary scholarship. First collected in Routledge's own The Transgender Studies Reader in 2006, the field has moved on, rapidly expanding in many directions. The Transgender Studies Reader 2 gathers these disparate strands of scholarship, and collects them into a format that makes sense for teaching and research. Complimenting the first volume, rather than competing with it, the second volume introduces another 50 articles, with explanatory head notes for each essay, and bibliographic suggestions for further reading. Buy the two volumes together at a discount in this bundle, and enjoy both the historic and modern takes on this rapidly growing, vibrant field.

Reviews

[Grant · Rating 5 out of 5]

Some chapters are tough to understand if you are not up on terminology, but definitely worth it, lots of different topics and many personal details.

[John · Rating 5 out of 5]

this is for Transgender Studies Reader 1. (Goodreads did not have a separate edition for reader 1, although, TS reader 2 being released later had its own single edition in Goodreads,
I reviewed TS reader 2 earlier...

TS Reader 1 provides good foundation reading material, an excellent primer~~
