Customer Reviews of Third Sex, Third Gender: Beyond Sexual Dimorphism in Culture and History
Fantastic Gil Herdt is one person who can certainly be trusted to compile a stellar collection of articles about third sexes/genders in a historical and cross-cultural context. It includes a chapter about the Hijras of India by Serena Nanda, along with many photographs. This book rounds out any homosexuality study you may be doing. It is very well done. I enjoyed reading the articles that I did.
What does third sex really mean ?
It is very interesting to read this kind of book, especially about eunuchs in Byzantion. However I think it is easier to compile such an omnibus-styled collective volume. I prefer monographic coherent book written by one author , e.g. John Boswell's " Christianity, Social Tolerance and Homosexuality " et "Same-Sex Union " , Eva Cantarella's "La bisessualita nel mondo antico" , Bernard Sergent's "L'homosexualite dans la mythologie grecque" or so. This book contains various "Third Sex" like stereotyped berdaches in America, hijuras in India, transvestists in Europe etc.---- Each article is interesting of course. Although in Japan our ancestors never introduced eunuch-system from China , we have many books exclusively concentrated on eunuchus.So I'd like to read special works focused on Greco-Roman & Byzantine eunuchs. If somebody knows these kinds of subject series,please kindly tell me the titles.
