Tongzhi

"Tongzhi brings you fascinating insight into: the history of same-sex eroticism in China; coming out in Chinese society; how colonialism has affected sexual nonconformists in this region; racial and sexual dynamics in colonial Hong Kong; the cultural politics of being a tomboy/girl in modern Hong Kong; "queering the mainstream" with tongzhi identity politics; and sexual/cultural diversities and differences among contemporary Chinese societies ... and much more!". "Tongzhi shows how culture influences identity and demonstrates how you can develop relevant strategies for successful activist movements. Its frank discussion of political movements for gay/lesbian/bisexual rights and the societal-implications of same-sex eroticism will give you a clear understanding of the attitudes toward and meanings of being tongzhi today."--BOOK JACKET.
