• How are bodies genderized through surgical interventions?
• How do such interventions express cultural context?
• How do women who have experienced female genital cutting respond to opportunities for clitoral reconstruction?
• How do female-to-male (FtM) trans people decide on how and where to undertake body modifications?
• What roles do cultural expectations and official regulations play in how people decide to have their bodies modified?

Suggesting that conventional gender binaries are no longer adequate to understanding the quest for bodily interventions, this insightful volume seeks to give a greater voice to those engaged in gender body modification. It will appeal to students and postdoctoral researchers interested in fields such as Gender Studies, Social Studies, Sexuality Studies and Cultural Studies.
