I'm reading an enthography right now in my anrthopology of gender class titled Travesti by Don Kulick. It's about transgendered prostitues in the Brazilian city Salvador. It is incredibly intriguing, disturbing, and very informative. The author spent 12 months living in with these travestis exploring their everyday lives and the thought processes of the indiviuals and the travesti culture within a larger context of Brazilian racial, sexual, and ideological culture. I definately recommend this book to anyone interested in Latin America.
