520 _aThis book presents a groundbreaking exploration of masculinities and homosexualities among Chinese gay men. It provides a sociological account of masculinity, desire, sexuality, identity and citizenship in contemporary Chinese sociriies, and within the constellation of global culture. Kong ewports the results of an extensive ethnographic study of contemporary Chinese gay men in a wide range of different locations including mainland China, Hong Kong and the Chinese overseas communit in London, showing how Chinese gay men live their everyday lives. Relating Chinese male homosexuality to the extensive social and cultural theories on gender, sexuality and the body, post-colonialism and globalization, the book examines the idea of queer space and numerous 'queer flows' - of capital, bodies, ideas, images and commodities - around the world. The book conculdes that different gay male identities - such as the conspicuously consuming memba in Hong Kong, the urban tongzhi, the 'money boy' in Chine and the feminized 'golden boy' in London - emerge in different locations, and are all caught up in the transnational flow of queer cultures that are at once local and global.
