This book is a comprehensive analysis of Chinese masculinity. While
there is a vast Eurocentric scholarship on gender and sexuality,
there has been little work addressing these issues within the
Chinese context. Kam Louie uses the concepts of wen (cultural
attainment) and wu (martial valour) to explain attitudes to
masculinity. This revises most Western analyses of Asian
masculinity that rely on the yin-yang binary. Examining classical
and contemporary Chinese literature and film, the book also looks
at the Chinese diaspora to consider Chinese masculinity within and
outside China. Its use of a largely indigenous framework to analyse
Chinese masculinity makes it an exciting addition to this
burgeoning field.
