Reviews

'This handbook is a stunning achievement that brings together a wide range of careful but innovative scholars to explore East Asian sexualities in a transnational frame. The handbook attends to both regional comparison and local specificity, exploring topics ranging from marriage to politics, from subcultures to national rhetorics of belonging.' - Tom Boellstorff, University of California, Irvine, USA 'Widely-ranging and rigorous, the essays in McLelland and Mackie's important anthology are robustly materialist, in that they entwine the historical, sociocultural, postindustrial, and intersubjective terrains that spawn local-global forms and practices of sexualities. This book will give East Asian studies a cutting-edge research agenda, while refurbishing the cultural studies of sexuality in the region with new vitality.' - John Nguyet Erni, Professor of Humanities & Cultural Studies, Hong Kong Baptist University

'At last, a dazzling and comprehensive collection that sets a new benchmark in East Asian studies. The international experts in this smart volume explore a range of significant topics, from sexual minorities to sexual politics, placing sexuality studies front and center on the Asian studies bookshelf. Pioneering, thought-provoking, and deeply knowledgeable.' - Laura Miller, University of Missouri-St. Louis, USA 'Widely-ranging and rigorous, the essays in McLelland and Mackie's important anthology are robustly materialist, in that they entwine the historical, sociocultural, postindustrial, and intersubjective terrains that spawn local-global forms and practices of sexualities.
