| Description | Same-sex relations, transvestism and cross-gender behaviour have long been noted amongst a wide range of Indonesian peoples. This book explores the nature of gender diversity in Indonesia and examines Islam in this context. It discusses in particular calalai, female-born individuals who identify as neither woman nor man: calabai, male-born individuals who also identify as neither man nor woman: and bissu, an order of shamans who embody female and male elements. The book examines the lives and roles of these variously gendered subjectivities in everyday life, including in low-status and high-status ritual such as wedding ceremonies, fashion parades, cultural festivals, Islamic recitations and shamanistic rituals |
