Discussions of sexuality in Asia and the Pacific have long been tinged with conceptions of the exotic Orient. Examining a world of erotic encounter between European, Asian, and Pacific people, these essays explore how sexual practices and sexual meanings have been constructed across cultural borders in Thailand, the Philippines, Burma/Myanmar, Japan, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, and the Polynesian islands. Considering sexuality as embedded in a complex social and political world structured and saturated by gender, race, and class relations, these scholars challenge the categories with which sex and gender have been named and studied. They examine these sites of desire through specific historic and cultural circumstances, from the first explorations of Europeans, through colonial power, to the contemporary issues of sexual tourism, prostitution, and the HIV/AIDS pandemic.A unique and important contribution to the study of sexuality, this book also suggests that the history of sexuality in the West was shaped by myths of the legendary Orient and the exotic Other.

This book is packed with info about sexualities in Asia and the Pacific, which I appreciated. However, some sections felt a bit dense and could be hard to get through. Still, I learned a lot and it’s a valuable resource if you’re into sexuality studies.

Not What I Expected
I was hoping for a more straightforward read but found it quite academic and a bit dry in places. The content is important, but it didn’t hold my interest like I’d hoped. Maybe more suited for scholars than casual readers.

Engaging Read with Cultural Insights
I recently picked up this volume from The Chicago Series on Sexuality and found it to be incredibly engaging. It dives deep into sexualities in Asia and the Pacific, offering perspectives I hadn't considered before. Perfect for anyone studying sexuality from a historical viewpoint!
