Queer studies is now a rapidly expanding field, as scholars from a
variety of disciplines seek to address the long-running
marginalisation of queer perspectives and experiences. But there
has so far been little effort to unify the study of queer
communities outside the West, and much of the current writing views
these communities through a narrowly Western lens. Building on the
work of the annual Queer Asia conference, which the editors helped
to establish, this collection represents the most comprehensive
work to date on queer studies in an Asian context. Featuring case
studies and original research from across the continent, covering
the Middle East, South and East Asia, and Asian diasporas, the
collection offers a genuinely pan-Asian perspective which places
queer Asian identities and movements in dialogue with each other,
rather than within a Western framework. By considering how
queerness is imagined within plural Asian experiences and contexts,
the contributors show a that re-envisioning of 'queer' through
Asian perspectives has the potential to challenge existing
discourses and debates in the wider field of contemporary gender,
sexuality, and queer studies.
