Produktbeschreibung
Asians Loving Asians: Sticky Rice Homoeroticism and Queer Politics examines media representations and everyday interpersonal intercultural negotiations of vernacular discourses around sticky rice-an "Asian" man building sexual and romantic relationships with other "Asian" men. Specifically, Eguchi interrogates the following elements of sticky rice: the way sticky rice recycles, rethinks, and shifts the settler colonialist logics of whiteness that sustain ongoing histories of anti-Asian racism; the way sticky rice resists and reifies the mundane operation and execution of whiteness that organizes gay sexual cultures; the way sticky rice reproduces, reconstitutes, and challenges intra-regional political rivalries, economic hierarchies, and historical tensions in and across Asia and Asian diasporas; and the way sticky rice suggests alternative mappings of queer sex, desire, intimacy, and relationality. By taking further steps to unpack the complexities and contradictions of sticky rice as a gay vernacular, Eguchi offers an additional and alternative space to question and critique "Asians loving Asians." Asians Loving Asians: Sticky Rice Homoeroticism and Queer Politics will be of interest to academic audiences coming from various disciplines such as communication, cultural studies, critical race and ethnic studies, Asian and Asian American studies, women's, gender, and sexuality studies, sociology, and more.

Rezensionen
"In Asians Loving Asians, Shinsuke Eguchi offers a much needed intervention into the exploration of gay sexual cultures and the meaning attributed to whiteness and white desires within gay communities both nationally and globally and the impact such desires have on multiple different arenas. Through adapt use of various methods and theoretical perspectives, this work demonstrates the ways that 'sticky rice,' the coupling of two Asian men in sexual relationships, can both be powerful and problematic. This book is a major accomplishment that will shape how we perceive inter and intra racial desire and the wide reaching impact of such desires beyond personal intimacies." -Chong-suk Winter Han, Professor of Sociology, Middlebury College and Author of Geisha of a Different Kind: Race and Sexuality in Gaysian America and Racial Erotics: Gay Men of Color, Sexual Racism, and the Politics of Desire
