At the same time, a growing Asian diasporic consciousness is emerging worldwide, celebrating Asian identity and cultural heritage. Yet, in the space between anti-Asian racism and the rise of Asian advocacy, the voices of queer people have often been largely missing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book addresses that gap. Exploring a range of contemporary case studies from art, fashion, performance, film, and political activism, Bao offers a powerful intersectional cultural politics--anti-nationalist, anti-racist, decolonial, feminist, and queer--that challenges dominant narratives and amplifies marginalized voices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The \u003cstrong\u003eSocial Science for Social Justice\u003c\/strong\u003e series challenges the Ivory Tower of academia, providing a platform for academics, journalists, and activists of color to respond to pressing social issues. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr Hongwei Bao is a queer East Asian scholar, writer and poet.
