Migrating Genders presents a sustained description of male-to-female transgendered identities, explaining how the fa''afafine fit within the wider gender system of Samoa, and examining both the impact of Westernization on fa''afafine identities and lives, and the experiences of fa''afafine who have migrated to New Zealand.
