- This book (pp.272) is a comparative study of cross-dressing and gender performance in Haiti, Martinique, Guadeloupe and within Caribbean communities in France. Its historical contextualisation of contemporary gender identity required lengthy consultation of diverse archival texts (from early Saint-Domingue plantation records to contemporary theatre reviews) in departmental archives in France and Martinique. This interdisciplinary research involved ethnographic fieldwork in Martinique, Haiti and France, including an audience reception study (with public screenings and focus groups), and the collection and analysis of oral histories. The analysis covers a range of media (film, photography, theatre, dress) and engages performance, gender and social theory.
