reviewed Two-Spirit People: Native American Gender Identity, Sexuality, and Spirituality on August 01, 2020
Two-Spirit People
Seminars from an anthropology conference on Native American gender identity and sexuality, many from Native American academic and non-academic participants. The contributors share a commitment to enquiry and diversity, but agree on few details. One of them has even propounded an uncertainty principle that "in cross-cultural research one can have context or definition but not both at the same time". One reason for this disagreement is that almost all the available evidence dates from the 20th century and so reflects external impacts such as Christianity. The contributors do agree that the currently dominant North American culture is short-sighted in equating sex and gender and, by way of example, the book conveys how these can be cross-grained.
