What did it mean to be queer and Asian American at the turn of the century? This volume considers how Asian American racial and queer sexuality interconnect in mutually shaping and complicating ways.
I was in the bookstore and started flipping through the book and couldn't stop reading it, I was totally awed and drawn by the content and simply overjoyed to see what I have witnessed, experienced and lived in such a coherent fashion. I would definitely recommend this as priority reading for all Asian Americans regardless of sexual orientation.
Groundbreaking

Every comment I've ever read about this book refers to it as "groundbreaking." A cliche, yes, but also true. This sprawling, yet tightly edited, collection breaks new ground not only in its juxtaposition of Asian and queer issues, but also in its unique and progressive vision: a refusal to break queer Asians into merely a collection of P.C. buzzwords, and an assertion of the unique and whole individuals who constitute queer Asian America.
The best reading I've had this year.........

I found this book to have perspectives not only for gay Asians, but for all gay men and women of color.
