The book draws on sixty in-depth interviews to show how constructions of Asian American gender and sexuality tend to reinforce the social and political dominance for whites, particularly white males, even in the supposed ';post-racial' United States. Drawing on established scholarship on the intersection of race, gender, and sexuality, Asian American Sexual Politics shows how power dynamics shape the lives of young Asian Americans today. Asian American women are often constructed as hyper-sexual docile bodies, while Asian American men are often racially ';castrated.' The book's interview excerpts show the range of frames through which Asian Americans approach the world, as well as the counter-frames they construct. In the final chapter, author Rosalind S. Chou offers strategies for countering racialized and sexualized oppression. This provocative book shows how persistent racism affects Asian American body image, self-esteem, and intimate relationships.Asian American womenSexual behaviorAsian AmericansSocial conditionsAsian American womenSexual behavior.Asian AmericansSocial conditions.306.76089/95073Chou Rosalind S1545966MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779206603321Asian American sexual politics3801215UNINA
