Includes bibliographical references."What if we consider motherhood an organizing principle instead of a genre or subject? In her debut book of essays, Chantal Braganza explores the space where identity and motherhood meet. How do we tell our children who they are when we're still struggling to find that language to describe ourselves? Journalist Chantal Braganza, who once thought of herself as "an assemblage of parts," reflects on her upbringing as a daughter of Mexican and Indian immigrants while raising her own multiracial sons. She explores what shapes identity, and the things we reach for as we search for our family's place in the world. Engaging with a unique structural style, Braganza weaves dreamlike memoir sections of her childhood -- some memories, some myths passed down from her family in Vallarta, Mombasa, London, and Toronto -- with urgent essays about identity. She wrangles with the limits of language -- finding that even fluency doesn't guarantee the ability to translate something for your children. The questions that emerges are: Can we believe the people who have given us the story of who we are? And how do we, responsibly, craft that story for our own children?"--

Trans bodies, trans selves : a resource by and for transgender communities / by Erickson-Schroth, Laura,editor.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."What does it mean to be trans? A common understanding of transgender, or trans for short, is that a person's gender differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. However, many see the idea of being trans as more complicated -as an active process of challenging the formal structures that govern how gender is defined. For different people, and in different times, places, and contexts, gender itself can be a broad entity or a very narrow one, and in various ways, understandings of "trans" can seem too expansive or too restrictive"--
