Bao H (2024) Queering the Asian Diaspora: East and Southeast Asian Sexuality, Identity and Cultural Politics. SAGE Publications.
The COVID pandemic has exacerbated global geopolitical tensions and exposed Sinophobia and anti-Asian racism. Meanwhile, a nascent Asian diasporic consciousness has been emerging worldwide, celebrating Asian identity and cultural heritage. In the space between anti-Asian racism and Asian Pride, queer people’s voices have been largely missing.
This book draws on a range of contemporary case studies including art, fashion, performance, film, and political activism. It articulates an intersectional cultural politics that is anti-nationalist, anti-racist, decolonial, feminist and queer.
It is part of the Social Science for Social Justice series: where academics, journalists, and activists of colour respond to pressing social issues.
