Governing Thirdness

Discover the compelling world of the Khawaja Sira of Pakistan in Governing Thirdness by Muhammad Azfar Nisar, published by Cambridge University Press in 2022. This insightful hardback, spanning 238 pages, delves into the lives of a diverse group of gender nonconforming individuals who challenge conventional views of gender and sexuality.

Through rich ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Lahore, Nisar sheds light on the identities, marginalization, and governance faced by the Khawaja Sira community. This book offers critical perspectives on their struggles and resilience as they navigate a society that often renders their existence unlivable. Ideal for readers interested in gender studies, sociology, and South Asian culture, Governing Thirdness is an essential addition to any academic library or personal collection.
