Description and Table of Contents
Description
Offers a compelling view of sexual and gender difference through the everyday lives of tombois and their girlfriends ('femmes') in the city of Padang, West Sumatra. It demonstrates how these same-sex Indonesian couples negotiate transgressive identities and desires and how their experiences speak to the struggles and desires of sexual and gender minorities everywhere.
