A revolutionary and informative book that I'm recommending to all my friends. Reclaiming Two-Spirits tracks the history of gender and sexuality across indigenous groups - mostly in North America, though there are references to Australian Aboriginals. It shows what we still know of the vibrant pre-colonial takes on gender and sexuality, which were as varied as the number of peoples that existed in North America - and how systemically colonizers tried to erase and destroy that diversity. And then, at the end, hope swells as the book tracks the creation of the word two-spirit and panindigenous efforts to reclaim their identities. I learned so much from this book, and I think that most people would, too - it's a good text for questioning sexual mores and what 'history' really means.
