"This richly textured and important book could not have come at a
more welcome time. We have been long aware of the questions we
would need to ask to understand the conditions for trans
experiences and activism in the post-Yugoslav space, but unable to
answer them without recourse to a work of this sensitivity and
depth. That work has now arrived." Catherine Baker, University of
Hull
"This path-breaking collection of post-Yugoslav transgender
scholarship provides vital insight into critical refigurations of
trans discourse on Europe's eastern periphery that we in the West
would do well to heed." Susan Stryker, Executive Editor, TSQ:
Transgender Studies Quarterly
"This inspiring volume makes our community stronger, more
resilient, and politically more self-reflexive. By doing so, it
offers us a platform for responding to the encroachments upon
democracy which have been taking place throughout the post-Yugoslav
region and beyond." Maja Pan, lesbian feminist activist and
independent scholar
"This precious volume combines empathy with knowledge and by doing
so promises to augment our possibilities to freely experience and
express ourselves in our region that has gone through such harsh
times. We need books like this to empower us to live a life without
aggression, violence, pathologisation, to encourage us to go beyond
those suffocating frames that want to determine who we are and what
it is that we can be." Agatha Milan Đuric, Geten, Center for
LGBTIQA People's Rights
