While other titles have explored gender in the context of the American prison population, Captive Genders is the first book to explicitly examine self-identified trans-folk and gender-queer individuals inside US prisons.Composed largely of first-hand accounts of the policing of trans and gender-queer folks, this book is suitable for readers in the GLBTQ community, as well as for readers who are looking for an introduction to the history of sexual-identity-based politics and discrimination.The collection is edited by two noted young GLBTQ activists.Since the abolition of the «Category B» classification in the late 1990s, it has been impossible to quantify the exact number of trans-folks currently incarcerated. However, a recent study suggests that widespread job-site discrimination has made it difficult for trans-identified individuals to gain legal employment, leading in turn to a wild upsurge in the trans population in America's prisons.
