Introduction. Twenty-first century global literature and gender -- Female reproductive labour : mothering, breastfeeding, wetnursing, surrogacy -- Object(ification)s : women as objects/women and objects -- Contingent masculinities in glocalization : incarceration, transport, and delivery -- Island identities, trading, and sex tourism : undoing masculinities -- Transing : twenty-first century global texts ask 'what if...?' about (trans)gender -- Boundary-crossing and transgender : gender as mobile -- Conclusion. Gender, the anthropocene, and the posthuman.

"Offering a thorough introduction to notions of gender in contemporary global literature, Global Literature and Gender uses postcolonial theories alongside theories of space and place, theories of globalization, and reference to the Posthuman and the Anthropocene as competing narratives of the contemporary. This book argues for the ongoing but very current significance of gender as an organizing category, while also revealing the fluidity and boundary defying nature of gender in twenty-first-century literature. Divided into three sections, looking at femininity, masculinity, and transgender, Jenni Ramone: - Examines globalization's uneasy relationship with theories which foreground gender and considers gender as a challenge to globalization; - Analyses embodied labour, global travel, trade, and tourism; - Discusses the ways in which globalization and masculinity are likewise at odds; - Considers a diverse range of themes and genres, including pearl-diving, taxi driving, space travel, authorship, surrogacy, modern-day slavery, Afrofuturism, Objectophilia, Stigma, Dehumanisation, Passing, and romance tourism; - Engages with a vast range of innovative contemporary works, including those by Akwaeke Emezi, Alain Mabanckou, Mieko Kawakami, Meera Syal, Helen Heath, Kei Miller, Deji Bryce Olukotun, jaye simpson, Hideki Noda, Dany Laferrière, Zadie Smith, Hanan Al-Shaykh, Teju Cole, Sherley Anne Williams, Helen Oyeyemi, and Arundhati Roy. Global Literature and Gender is an essential intervention for researchers and students of globalization, twenty-first-century literature, and gender"--
