Description
Central to these stories are womb memories, narratives of birth and reincarnation, and the concept of the third sex-an intermediate identity between male and female. As explained through first-person accounts and traditional legends, myths, and folk tales, the presence of transgender individuals informs Inuit relationships to one another and to the world at large, transcending the dualities of male and female, human and animal, human and spirit.This new English edition includes the 2006 preface by Claude Levi-Strauss and an afterword by Bernard Saladin d'Anglure.
