Book Synopsis Wrongly Bodied Two by : Clarissa T. Sligh
Book excerpt: This book relates the stories of Jake, a white male who transitions from female to male, and Ellen Craft, a 19th century black woman, who escapes slavery by passing as a white man. Sligh, in photographing Jake's transformation, becomes aware of society's psychological response to the act of changing one's identity. Recalling the methods by which Ellen Craft passes to freedom, Sligh reexamines her own fears of crossing the forbidden boundaries of gender, race and class. Silkscreen and digitally printed.
