China's late imperial government was arguably more concerned about gender and sexuality among its subjects than any other pre-modern state. How did these and other late imperial legacies shape twentieth-century notions of gender and sexuality in modern China? Susan Mann answers this by focusing on state policy, ideas about the physical body and notions of sexuality and difference in China's recent history, from medicine to the theater to the gay bars; from law to art and sports. More broadly, the book shows how changes in attitudes toward sex and gender in China during the twentieth century have cast a new light on the process of becoming modern, while simultaneously challenging the universalizing assumptions of Western modernity. 410 0$aNew approaches to Asian history ;$v9. 517 3 $aGender & Sexuality in Modern Chinese History 606 $aSex role$zChina 606 $aWomen$zChina 606 $aSex$zChina 615 0$aSex role 615 0$aWomen 615 0$aSex 676 $a305.420951 700 $aMann$b Susan$f1943-$01048172 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457387703321 996 $aGender and sexuality in modern Chinese history$92476271 997 $aUNINA
