Queering the Asian Diaspora: East and Southeast Asian Sexuality, Identity and Cultural Politics

Queering the Asian Diaspora: East and Southeast Asian Sexuality, Identity and Cultural Politics
Summary
"The COVID pandemic has exacerbated global geopolitical tensions and exposed Sinophobia and anti-Asian racism. Meanwhile, a nascent Asian diasporic consciousness has been emerging worldwide, celebrating Asian identity and cultural heritage. In the space between anti-Asian racism and Asian Pride, queer people's voices have been largely missing. This book draws on a range of contemporary case studies including art, fashion, performance, film and political activism. It articulates an intersectional cultural politics that is anti-nationalist, anti-racist, decolonial, feminist and queer."--Page 4 of cover.
