Book Synopsis On Transits and Transitions by : Tristan Josephson
Download or read book On Transits and Transitions written by Tristan Josephson and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-14 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrations of the “transgender tipping point” in the second decade of the twenty-first century occurred at the same time of heightened debates and anxieties about immigration in the United States. On Transits and Transitions explores what the increased visibility of trans people in the public sphere means for trans migrants and provides a counter-narrative to the dominant discourse that the inclusion of transgender issues in law and policy represents the progression of legal equality for trans communities. Focusing on the intersection of immigration and trans rights, Josephson presents a careful and innovative examination of the processes by which the category of transgender is produced through and incorporated into the key areas of asylum law, marriage and immigration law, and immigration detention policies. Using mobility as a critical lens, On Transits and Transitions captures the insecurity and precarity created by U.S. immigration control and related processes of racialization to show how im/mobility conditions citizenship and national belonging for trans migrants in the United States.

Book excerpt: "On Transits and Transitions: Mobility, Displacement, and Trans Subjectivity in the United States" maps how relations of im/mobility and displacement position trans subjects in relation to constructions of U.S. citizenship and national subjectivity in the contemporary United States. Drawing on the insights of transnational feminist cultural studies, queer and trans theory, and critical legal studies, the dissertation looks to the law as a site for the production of the category of "transgender" and examines how different areas of the law manage trans migrants as populations to be included or excluded from the U.S. nation-state. I focus on three key areas of law and policy - asylum law, marriage law, and immigration detention policies - to show how these areas collaborate to define, regulate, and distribute conditional and limited forms of recognition for trans migrants, while also attending to the transnational circuits of neoliberal capital and knowledge that constitute trans subjects. I engage the question of mobility by interrogating the ways that the state institutions regulate not just trans bodies and identities but also the processes of transition. This approach allows me to map the unevenness of recognition for trans subjects across social, cultural, and legal determinations and to show how freedom for some trans subjects is founded on the unfreedom of other trans subjects. I argue that the recognition of trans migrants as legible and illegible in these areas of the law is specific but not exceptional to trans subjects. That is, the management of trans migrants is integral to how U.S. state institutions manage gender, sexuality, and racialized populations simultaneously, and therefore illustrates how citizenship and national belonging in the United States are premised on narrow and restrictive categories that affect all subjects, not just those who are transgender. In the process, my project challenges juridical understandings of citizenship by showing how the law depends on and perpetrates normative cultural categories of sex, gender, race, and nation.
Book Synopsis It Never Goes Away by : Anne Lauren Koch
Download or read book It Never Goes Away written by Anne Lauren Koch and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-10 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are transgendered, the feeling of wanting your body to match the sex you feel you are never goes away. For some, though, especially those who grew up before trans people were widely out and advocating for equality, these feelings were often compartmentalized and rarely acted upon. Now that gender reassignment has become much more commonplace, many of these people may feel increasing pressure to finally undergo the procedures they have always secretly wanted. Ken Koch was one of those people. Married twice, a veteran, and a world traveler, a health scare when he was sixty-three prompted him to acknowledge the feelings that had plagued him since he was a small child. By undergoing a host of procedures, he radically changed his appearance and became Anne Koch. In the process though, Anne lost everything that Ken had accomplished. She had to remake herself from the ground up. Hoping to help other people in her age bracket who may be considering transitioning, Anne describes the step by step procedures that she underwent, and shares the cost to her personal life, in order to show seniors that although it is never too late to become the person you always knew you were, it is better to go into that new life prepared for some serious challenges. Both a fascinating memoir of a well-educated man growing up trans yet repressed in the mid-twentieth century, and a guidebook to navigating the tricky waters of gender reassignment as a senior, It Never Goes Away shows how what we see in the television world of Transparent translates in real life.

Book Synopsis The Trans Partner Handbook by : Jo Green
Download or read book The Trans Partner Handbook written by Jo Green and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2017-08-21 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals who transition from one gender to another are often in some degree of a relationship, and over 55% of these relationships endure through the transition process. While more resources are emerging for trans people themselves, there is very little information available for their partners. Through first-hand accounts and vignettes of successful partnerships, this book presents detailed descriptions of everything involved in the transition process, with specific guidance for those supporting a partner in transition. Topics include disclosure, mental health, coming out, loss and grief, sex and sexuality and the legal, medical and social practicalities of transitioning. In this essential guide, people whose partners are across the transgender spectrum speak out on their own experiences with personal advice and support for others.
Book Synopsis Transgender Migrations by : Trystan T. Cotten
Download or read book Transgender Migrations written by Trystan T. Cotten and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transgender Migrations brings together a top-notch collection of emerging and established scholars to examine the way that the term "migration" can be used not only to look at the way trans bodies migrate from one gender to the (an?) other, but the way that trans people migrate in the larger geopolitical contexts of immigration reform, the war on terror, the war on drugs, and the increased policing of national borders. The book centers trans-ing experiences, identities, and politics, and treats these identities as inextricably intertwined with other social identities, institutions, and discourses of sexuality, nationality, race and ethnicity, globalization, colonialism, and terrorism. The chapter authors explore not only the movement of bodies in, through, and across spaces and borders, but also chart the metamorphoses of these bodies in relation to migration and mobility. Transgender Migrations takes the theory documented in The Transgender Studies Reader and blows it up to a global scale. It is the logical next step for scholarship in this dynamic, emerging field.

Book Synopsis Zimbabwe in Transition by : Timothy Murithi
Download or read book Zimbabwe in Transition written by Timothy Murithi and published by Jacana Media. This book was released on 2011 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zimbabwe's Transition to Democracy in the post-independence era has been a very difficult one. To date, there have been a number of sustained efforts by various local, regional and international actors to move Zimbabwe towards democracy as well as attempts to find a lasting solution to the political and economic crises that seriously affected the country's progress from the late 1990s. However, these attempts have been less successful mainly because Zimbabwe has complex political and economic problems, with interlocking national, regional and international political and economic dimensions rooted in both historical and contemporary factors and developments. To understand the complexities of the challenges to Zimbabwe's transition to democracy as well as prospects for political change and democracy in the country, Zimbabwe in Transition critically examines both the historical and contemporary dynamics shaping political and economic developments in the country, taking into account voices from a broad spectrum of Zimbabwean society, including civil society, faith-based communities, the diaspora, women, community leaders, the media, youth, and regional actors such as SADC and the AU.

Book Synopsis Energy Transition by : Syed Abdul Rehman Khan
Download or read book Energy Transition written by Syed Abdul Rehman Khan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-29 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book opens up a critical dimension of energy transition taking in account multidimensional challenges on economic, social and environmental fields. The book discusses the trends in the field of energy transition and evolving practices adopted by public authorities and companies for betterment of environment and society. The editors (4) identify directions and challenges involved in the energy transition. The novelty of this book is the multidisciplinary approach, being presented the economic, social and environmental challenges involved in the energy transition. The energy transition is accompanied by a complex process of changing attitudes and behaviors of energy consumers and producers. The consequences are profound not only economically and environmentally but also socially, renewable energy being a solution for energy poverty reduction and development of rural communities. Therefore, certain social and environmental problems generated by energy poverty are solved by using renewable energy. Moreover, the complexity of the phenomenon is presented not only in terms of the analysis of the main sources of renewable energy but also the ethical aspects involved in the use of sources such as biofuels. In the case of this source, the main problem is whether the use of certain agricultural products for the production of biofuels threatens food security, especially in rural areas. All categories of stakeholders must show responsibility and get involved in this complex process which requires a remarkable technical and financial effort. The energy transition can offer innovative solutions through which the impact of economic activity on the environment is minimized, and in this way, industrial ecology achieves its objectives to support sustainable development. The demands imposed by industrial ecology must shape not only the behavior of oil and gas companies but also of entities involved in the production and consumption of renewable energy. Given the negative externalities generated, companies in the fossil fuel sector have become increasingly socially responsible, their social and environmental performance (non-financial) being presented in detail in the annual sustainability reports to inform stakeholders. Therefore, this book is an important read not only for scholars, but also for those who are interested in ensuring an environmentally sustainable future taking in account energy transition challenges.
