Among the Eunuchs: A Muslim Transgender Journey (Hardback)

'An amazing, intricately detailed and personal history of the life of hijras and the modern-day trans community. From the glory of royal courts to the loss of respect and a fight for survival, this is a powerfully written exploration of sexuality, gender, Islam and South Asian culture.' - Madian Al Jazerah, author of 'Are You This? Or Are You This?'

'A brave and compelling account of the author's transnational journey, interrogating questions of gender, faith, belonging and their complex intersections. It provides a fascinating lens through which to explore the politics of difference, gendered and otherwise, during these polarising times.' - Gayatri Reddy, Associate Professor of Anthropology and Gender & Women’s Studies, University of Illinois Chicago

'Brimming with critical insight, this is a rich account of transfeminine experience, exploring political questions of faith, gender, race, sexuality and belonging, and highlighting how personal and social history enmesh. An important and timely intervention.' - Avtar Brah MBE, Professor Emerita of Sociology, Birkbeck, University of London

'A compelling narrative of transition, moving from rural Germany to South Asia, and located within a rich trajectory of trans folk in Islamic societies. Jagiella interweaves personal and political challenges, arguing for sexual and gender liberation across the world.' - Shahnaz Khan, Professor Emerita of Women and Gender Studies, Wilfrid Laurier University, and author of 'Transnational Feminism and the Moral Regulation of Pakistani Women'
