“... it is an exciting contribution to scholarly understandings of gender and religion and how they are transforming and evolving in contemporary Southeast Asia. The authors highlight the agency, ability, and creativity of queer ritual specialists, who can transform and reconstruct their sexual identities within the boundaries of localised sexual norms. The book is highly recommended to scholars, researchers, students, and even general readers who are interested in queer and gender studies, with in-depth anthropological insights into the private lives of queer ritual specialists adapting to a rapidly globalizing world.”
