Asian American Sexualities

<p><em>Asian American Sexualities</em> works to dispel the stereotype of oriental sexual decadence as well as the model minority heterosexual Asian sterotype in the US. <br><br> Writing from an impressive array of interdisciplinary perspectives the contributors discuss a variety of topics including sexuality and identity politics; community activism and gay activism; transnational aspects of love between women in Thailand; queer South Asian culture in the US; gay and lesbian filmmakers; same-sex sexuality in Pacific literature; and Asian American male homosexuality and AIDS. The relationship of the gay and lesbian experience to Asian American studies and Ethnic Studies is also explored.</p>
