Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2015 Sex in China introduces
readers to some of the dramatic shifts that have taken place in
Chinese sexual behaviours and attitudes, and public discussions of
sex, since the 1980s. The book explores what it means to talk about
'sex' in present-day China, where sex and sexuality are more and
more visible in everyday life. Elaine Jeffreys and Haiqing Yu
situate China's changing sexual culture, and how it is governed, in
the socio-political history of the People's Republic of China. They
demonstrate that Chinese governmental authorities and policies do
not set out strictly to repress 'sex'; they also create spaces for
the emergence of new sexual subjects and subjectivities. They
discuss the complexities surrounding the ongoing explosion of
commentary on sex and sexuality in the PRC, and the emergence of
new sexual behaviours and mores. Sex in China offers clear,
critical coverage of sex-related issues that are a focus of public
concern and debate in China - chapters focus on sex studies;
marriage and family planning; youth and sex(iness); gay, lesbian
and queer discourses and identities; commercial sex; and HIV/AIDS.
This book will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars
both of modern China and of sex and sexualities, who wish to
understand the role that 'sex' plays in contemporary China.
