Description
Pride in Asia offers a comprehensive examination of LGBTQ+ pride movements across various Asian nations and communities. Rather than treating pride as a monolithic concept exported from the West, the contributors analyze how pride is locally negotiated, adapted, and reimagined within specific cultural, political, and social contexts throughout Asia.
The book explores how ideologies shape pride activism, how communities assert their local identities within global movements, and what alternative futures Asian LGBTQ+ communities envision for themselves. Through case studies and theoretical frameworks, it challenges dominant narratives and presents nuanced perspectives on sexuality, gender identity, and social justice.
Part of the Elements in Language, Gender and Sexuality series from Cambridge University Press, this interdisciplinary collection brings together voices of scholars and activists committed to understanding the complexities of pride movements beyond Western paradigms.
