In Queer Marxism in Two Chinas Petrus Liu rethinks the relationship
between Marxism and queer cultures in mainland China and Taiwan.
Whereas many scholars assume the emergence of queer cultures in
China signals the end of Marxism and demonstrates China's political
and economic evolution, Liu finds the opposite to be true. He
challenges the persistence of Cold War formulations of Marxism that
position it as intellectually incompatible with queer theory, and
shows how queer Marxism offers a nonliberal alternative to Western
models of queer emancipation. The work of queer Chinese artists and
intellectuals not only provides an alternative to liberal
ideologies of inclusion and diversity, but demonstrates how
different conceptions of and attitudes toward queerness in China
and Taiwan stem from geopolitical tensions. With Queer Marxism in
Two Chinas Liu offers a revision to current understandings of what
queer theory is, does, and can be.
