Sexual Cultures in East Asia: The Social Construction of Sexuality and Sexual Risk in a Time of AIDS

Editat de Evelyne Micollier
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 noi 2003
Using case-studies from East and Southeast Asia, this book examines sexuality and AIDS-related sexual risk in the context of Asian cultures. It offers a complementary perspective, documented with sociological and anthropological data, to historical studies and looks at commercial sex work, kinship systems, matrimonial strategies, gender, power relations, and the relevance of cultural constructs such as Confucianism and Taoism for the analysis of sexual cultures in Asia.

Recenzii

'This is an important and thoroughly documented book...It provides its readers with unique keys to understanding societies that we have often, at least in matters of sexuality, treated with exoticism or judged in reference to the West.' - China Perspectives
'Sexual Cultures in East Asia is a rich resource for students and scholars and will well serve undergraduate and graduate courses on HIV/AIDS, sex work, sexual cultures and gender' - Sabine Fruhstuck, University of California, Santa Barbara, JRAS, Series 3, Volume 18/2-2008
