Produktbeschreibung

Specific issues discussed in relation to the AIDS epidemic and the social construction of sexual risk and sexual identity include: *how sexual identity is formed and/or transformed *networks which can channel or condition selection of sexual partners *the complex relationship between traditional filial duty and prostitution *gendered relations of power *the relationship between kinship, sex education, marriage, NGOs and sex By using a multidisciplinary approach, which includes sociological, medical and historical perspectives, Micollier highlights how East Asian sexual identity is most definitely a social construction. Designed specifically for social scientists and those involved in AIDS development programs, this book will appeal to anyone interested in sexuality and Asian cultures.
