Shanghai Lalas

Shanghai LalasThis is the first ethnographic study of lala (lesbian, bisexual, and transgender) communities and politics in China, focusing on the city of Shanghai. Based on several years of in depth interviews, the volume concentrates on lalas' everyday struggle to reconcile same sex desire with a dominant rhetoric of family harmony and compulsory marriage, all within a culture denying women's active and legitimate sexual agency.
