The AIDS crisis reshaped life in Los Angeles in the 1980s and 1990s
and radicalized a new generation of queer Asian Americans with a
broad vision of health equity and sexual freedom. Even amid the
fear and grief, Asian American AIDS activists created an
infrastructure of care that centered the most stigmatized and
provided diverse immigrant communities with the health resources
and information they needed. Without a formal blueprint, these
young organizers often had to be creative and agitational, and
together they reclaimed the pleasure in sex and fostered
inclusivity, regardless of HIV status. A community memoir, Love
Your Asian Body connects the deeply personal with the
uncompromisingly political in telling the stories of more than
thirty Asian American AIDS activists. In those early years of the
epidemic, these activists became caregivers, social workers,
nurses, researchers, and advocates for those living with HIV. And
for many, the AIDS epidemic sparked the beginning of their
continued work to build multiracial coalitions and confront broader
systemic inequities. Detailing the intertwined realities of race
and sexuality in AIDS activism, Love Your Asian Body offers a vital
portrait of a movement founded on joy.
