Book description
With Respect to Sex is an intimate ethnography that offers a provocative account of sexual and social difference in India. The subjects of this study are hijras or the third sex of India, individuals who occupy a unique, liminal space between male and female, sacred and profane. Hijras are men who sacrifice their genitalia to a goddess in return for the power to confer fertility on newlyweds and newborn children, a ritual role they are respected for, at the same time as they are stigmatized for their ambiguous sexuality. By focusing on the hijra community, Reddy sheds new light on Indian society and the intricate negotiations of identity across various domains of everyday life. Further, by reframing hijra identity through the local economy of respect, this ethnography highlights the complex relationships between local and global, sexual and moral, economies. This book will be regarded as the definitive work on hijras, one that will be of enormous interest to anthropologists, students of South Asian culture, and specialists in gender, queer, and sexuality studies.

ListenBook has turned my downtime into an opportunity for exploration and growth. The appβs design is sleek and modern. ListenBook is my favorite audiobook player. The ability to download audiobooks directly is fantastic. ListenBook is very convenient. As someone who struggles to focus on audiobooks, this kept my attention the whole way through.

I had to speed it up to 1.2x which then made some parts sound slightly unnatural.
