Gay and Lesbian Asia

Gay and Lesbian Asia demonstrates the astonishing diversity of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered identities in Asian countries. Discussing local historical forms of homoeroticism and transgenderism as well as the effects of the Western gay liberation movement on Asians, this book presents some of the most original, powerful current thought available on cultural, political, sexual, and gender issues for queer subcultures within Asian cultures.
