Item description from seller

Paperback. In Body Problems, M. Wolff offers groundbreaking insight into Sally Gross, a South African intersex priest and activist whose body was continuously policed and politicized. Grosss role in founding Intersex South Africa and her involvement with the African National Congress are celebrated in the Apartheid Museum, but the complex dimensions of her life - from her Jewish heritage, Christian priesthood, and Buddhist practices - remain largely unexplored. Wolff illuminates these lesser-known aspects of Grosss spirituality and theorizes her resistance to the regulation of intersexuality. The book urges readers to rethink bodies and belonging, particularly as they relate to formations of gender and religion. Wolff presents Grosss life as a guide for discerning our commitments to social justice and responsible relations. Body Problems is a timely and expansive contribution to ongoing discourses on the medical, religious, and political construction of bodies. M. Wolff offers a groundbreaking exploration of Sally Gross, a South African intersex scholar-priest, activist, and anti-apartheid figure whose life and body were continuously policed and politicized.
