Tang and Wijaya present a range of new and established scholarly
voices, including local activists directly involved in developments
in Southeast Asia. This groundbreaking collection presents the
current state of play and longstanding LGBTQ+ debates in this
often-overlooked region of Asia. The diversity of both the subject
and the region is reflected in the broad scope of topics addressed,
from the impact of Japanese queer popular culture on queer
Filipinos, to the politics of public toilets in Singapore, and the
impact of digital governance on queer communities across ASEAN.
Taken in combination, these investigations not only highlight the
operations of queer politics in Southeast Asia, but also present a
concrete basis to reflect on queer knowledge production in the
region. A vital resource for students and scholars of gender and
sexuality in Southeast Asia, or any Queer or LGBTQ+ studies looking
beyond the West.

Taking lesbians in Singapore as a case study, this book explores
the possibility of a modern gay identity in a postcolonial society,
that is not dependent on Western queer norms. It looks at the core
question of how this identity can be reconciled with local culture
and how it relates to global modernities and dominant
understandings of what it means to be queer. It engages with
debates about globalization, post-colonialism and sexuality, while
emphasising the specificity, diversity and interconnectedness of
local lesbian sexualities.
