[Commlist] New Book: Queering the Asian Diaspora

*Queering the Asian Diaspora (Hongwei Bao, Sage, 2024)*

ISBN: 9781529619683 (paperback, 168 pp.)

The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified global geopolitical tensions, 
bringing Sinophobia and anti-Asian racism into sharp focus. At the same 
time, a growing Asian diasporic consciousness is emerging worldwide, 
celebrating Asian identity and cultural heritage. Yet, in the space 
between anti-Asian racism and the rise of Asian advocacy, the voices of 
queer people have often been largely missing.


This book addresses that gap. Exploring a range of contemporary case 
studies from art, fashion, performance, film, and political activism, 
Bao offers a powerful intersectional cultural politics—anti-nationalist, 
anti-racist, decolonial, feminist, and queer—that challenges dominant 
narratives and amplifies marginalized voices.
