Original title: "¡Muxe! Du treng ikkje å vere kvinne for å vere dame" (¡Muxe! You don't have to be a woman to be a lady) by Stephen J. Walton.
The book presents the gender system in the Isthmo de Tehuantepec. This system is a variant of the multi-genus systems that existed all over America before the European conquest. The reasons why it has survived there lie in the deep economic and political structures and not least in the habitus and the strong social position of the women.
Sex, gender, and sexuality are dynamic fields in modern society, and the system is also changing rapidly in the isthmus.
