Description

Explore the rapidly evolving landscape of lesbian and gay communities in mainland China through this essential anthropological study. As the 21st century brings new freedoms and modernizing reforms, mainstream society has become increasingly tolerant. However, lala communities still face significant family and social pressures that are deeply rooted in gender dynamics. This book provides a detailed look at everyday lala lives, intimacies, and social communities. It examines how sexual subjectivity is expressed and how gendered T-P (tomboy-wife) roles function within these urban environments. Readers will gain insight into the complexities of family and kinship, the reality of same-sex weddings, and the unique lala-gay contract marriages that have emerged in this cultural context. Part of the Routledge Research in Gender and Society series, this work offers a unique perspective on how identity and community are shaped in modern China. It is a valuable resource for those studying sociology, anthropology, and gender studies, providing a deep look into the lived experiences of queer women navigating traditional social structures and modern urban life.
