| The book examines same-sex relationships in the cultures of East Asia? Contributors from Hong Kong, China, Japan, and Korea discuss a variety of topics, including solidarity and conflicts between lesbians and feminists, identities and identity politics, lesbian lives and families, and representation in mainstream culture. Asia, because of its inherent language and cultural differences from Western society, is a location of a vast unrealized fount of knowledge about same-sex relationships and the societies in which they interact. This book begins to fill this gap in knowledge, going beyond East-West divisions by gathering in one volume studies in Asia lesbian/queer studies of both the West and Asia. The texts emphasis is on points of connection and cooperation across the cultures within Asia and between this region and other areas of the world. Topics include lesbian rights and feminism in Korea, emotional damage suffered in family, work, and school contexts, analysis of internet exchanges in China, gender inequality and discrimination and their effects on self-sufficiency, the effects of expectations of marriage or remaining single on economics, legal standpoints, and in school.
