Description for Between Genders
Hardback. 'Between Genders' demonstrates how gender differentiation becomes a defining issue in early French Modernism. It also explores how border crossings among seemingly distinct terms of identification (heterosexuality, homosexualities, androgyny, etc.) put in question the idea of identity and provoke reconsideration of other important issues. Num Pages: 208 pages. BIC Classification: 2ADF; DSBF; DSK. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 235 x 159 x 19. Weight in Grams: 476.
