- This 277-page monograph is the first published in English on the history of queer activism in post-Mao China (1978 to present). It combines three years (2007-09) of ethnographic fieldwork in three Chinese cities (Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou), interviews with leading queer filmmakers and activists, and analysis of key historical and archival materials such as the gay conversion therapy diaries. The research draws on a transnational and postcolonial perspective onto the Euro-US-centric queer studies. These are used to explore a queer Marxist critique of global neoliberalism and homonormativity.
