Challenging Gender Norms: Five Genders Among Bugis in Indonesia (Case Studies in Cultural Anthropology) by Graham Davies, Sharyn. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780495092803.

See how gender identities are constructed in a rapidly changing cultural milieu with CHALLENGING GENDER NORMS: THE FIVE GENDERS OF INDONESIA! This case study in cultural anthropology explores the Bugis ethnic group, native to the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, which recognizes five gender categories rather than the two acknowledged in most societies. This ethnography presents individuals stories, opinions, and deliberations and proposes a new theory of gender which incorporates appreciation of variously gendered subjectivities.
