Reviews
This provocative collection seeks to exfoliate the layers that have bundled Chinese Studies within the strictures of traditional area studies. Looking to transnational routes and roots, the contributors elegantly deploy a queer Sinophonic framework that refuses geographic and conceptual limits to understanding the conjunctions and intersections of wayward bodies, intimacies, and attachments as these are produced in film, literature and other cultural genres. Traipsing various sites and contexts of the Sinophone world, from Singapore to Hong Kong to Taiwan and beyond, the essays in this expansive collection de-essentialize Chineseness and queer by circumventing the traps and tribulations of antipodal dualities such as China and its diasporas. Martin F. Manalansan IV, Global Divas: Filipino Gay Men in the Diaspora This impressive anthology brings queer theory and Sinophone studies into a critically challenging and mutually transformative conjuncture. Showcasing an eclectic range of scholarship that is historically nuanced, theoretically adventurous and globally aware, the book demonstrates that the vital projects to, respectively, deprovincialize china and reroute the geopolitics of desire not only go hand in hand but inform each other in the most thoughtful and provocative way. This book stands at the forefront of a vibrant new field and should be read by anyone who is interested in pushing the boundaries of sexuality studies and Asian studies. Helen Hok-Sze Leung, Undercurrents: Queer Culture and Postcolonial Hong Kong
