This book contributes to a critical understanding of how Chinese
same-sex identity in urban China is variously imagined; how it is
transformed; and how it presents its resistances as China continues
to open up to global power relations. Equally important, the book
will 1) sharpen knowledge of China's recent socio-economic change
and political agenda, 2) build a greater awareness of Chinese
cultural, sexual and ethical values and 3) offer new perspectives
on 'Chineseness' and Chinese same-sex identity. Uniquely, it
explores the emergence of Chinese same-sex identity through
understanding the everyday, lived same-sex experience, amid China's
opening up to cultural, sexual and economic globalisation. This
understanding is based on a culturally sensitive framework which
accommodates the diverse and sometimes paradoxical articulation of
same-sex identity in urban China. It come sto the conclusion that
same-sex identity in china is articulated in a paradoxical way:
open and decentred, but at the same time, nationalist and
conforming to state control. This book will be of interest to
scholar and students in Chinese studies, Gender Studies, sexuality
and cultural studies.
