REVEALING SELVES: TRANSGENDER PORTRAITS FROM ARGENTINA
Book ID/图书代码： 12861018C00022
English Summary/英文概要： Argentina was the first nation in Latin America to legalize same-sex marriage. It also passed legislation making it one of the most advanced countries worldwide in terms of transgender rights—the culmination of a long battle fought by LGBTQ support groups.
In the beautifully packaged and affordably priced Revealing Selves, award-winning photographer Kike Arnal collaborates with individuals in Argentinian transgender communities, living side by side with them and documenting their day-to-day lives in a series of strikingly intimate color and black-and-white images. Among them are a former sex worker who is now a recognized leader of the Buenos Aires trans community, a single trans mother of three teenage girls whose partner had fallen victim to drug abuse, and the residents of the Hotel Gondolin, a small, derelict family hotel now inhabited by a few dozen trans women.
Despite the progress, the situation in Argentina is far from perfect. Trans people are still discriminated against and subject to verbal violence, physical assault, and police abuse. Of interest to LGBTQ activists and photography enthusiasts alike, Revealing Selves is both a celebration of the trans community in Argentina and a clear-eyed examination of what remains to be done in the struggle for trans rights.
Revealing Selves was designed by Emerson, Wajdowicz Studios (EWS).
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 阿根廷是拉丁美洲第一个将同性婚姻合法化的国家。它还通过了立法，使其成为世界上跨性别权利最发达的国家之一——这是LGBTQ支持组织长期斗争的结果。
在包装精美，价格实惠的《揭露自我》中，获奖摄影师卡克•阿纳尔与阿根廷变性人社区的人合作，与他们一起生活，用一系列非常亲密的彩色和黑白照片记录他们的日常生活。其中有前性工作者是现在公认的领袖布宜诺斯•艾利斯变性人社区,有三个少女的变性母亲曾经拥有药物滥用的伙伴，和贡多林酒店的居民,一个废弃的家庭旅馆现在居住着几十个变性女人。
尽管取得了进展，但阿根廷的局势远非完美。变性人仍然受到歧视，遭受口头暴力、身体攻击和警察虐待。对于LGBTQ活动人士和摄影爱好者来说，《揭露自我》是对阿根廷变性人群体的一种庆祝，也是对为变性人争取权利的斗争中仍需做些什么的清晰审视。

Awards/获奖情况：赞扬揭露自我:
“卡克•阿纳尔已经再次这样做了。就像他的前一本书《边境生活》一样，这本书讲述了墨西哥变性人的生活，通过揭露自己的内心世界，以诚实和同情的态度框定了阿根廷变性人的日常生活。他有捕捉小瞬间的天赋，这些小瞬间可以唤起人们的回忆，展现他们丰富的生活。”——苏珊•斯特赖克，《跨性别者的历史:当今革命的根源》一书的作者
“从它的介绍到最后的形象，揭示自我是拉丁美洲LGBTQ研究的重要贡献。最重要的是，这本书强调了当代阿根廷变性人生活的一个核心悖论:在这个世界上最成功的国家之一，为争取接受、尊重和生存而奋斗，以推进变性人的权利。”——奥马尔•恩卡纳西翁，巴德学院政治学教授，《走出边缘:拉丁美洲同性恋权利革命》一书作者
“《揭露自我》有助于捕捉阿根廷变性群体的美丽和复杂。我们存在于世界的每一个角落，因此，人们在我们存在的每一个地方，公开地、毫无歉意地看到我们的存在是至关重要的。”——詹妮斯特•古铁雷斯，跨性别活动家和

Praise for Revealing Selves:
“Kike Arnal has done it again. As with his previous book, Bordered Lives, about trans people in Mexico, in Revealing Selves Arnal’s lens frames the daily lives of trans people in Argentina with honesty and compassion. He has a gift for capturing small moments that display the richness of his subjects’ lives in evocative detail.”—Susan Stryker, author of Transgender History: The Roots of Today’s Revolution
“From its introduction to its last image, Revealing Selves is a vital contribution to Latin American LGBTQ studies. Above all, the book highlights a central paradox of transgender life in contemporary Argentina: the struggle for acceptance, respect, and survival in one of the world’s most successful nations in advancing transgender rights.”—Omar G. Encarnación, professor of political studies at Bard College and author of Out in the Periphery: Latin America’s Gay Rights Revolution
“Revealing Selves helps to capture the beauty and complexity of the transgender community in Argentina. We exist in every corner of the world, so it is critical for people to see us, openly and unapologetically, in every place we exist. Nuestro existir es resistir.”—Jennicet Gutiérrez, transgender activist and founding member of La Familia: Trans Queer Liberation Movement
