Opacity (Gender, Sexuality, and Culture, Vol. 2)
by David A. B. Murray
Category: Social Science

Murray (anthropology, York U., Toronto) argues that sexuality and gender are both central and peripheral to understanding processes and projects of identity in the French Caribbean island. He hopes to spark a critique of much of the literature on identity, which tends to apply these categories without reflection or to dismiss them entirely when explaining difference.
