Tang provides a new, much-needed oral history of an Inter-Asian formation of queer female sexuality and community from the 1960s to the present.”—Amie Elizabeth Parry, English Department and the Center for the Study of Sexualities, National Central University, Taiwan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This singular study of older Chinese lesbians presents a series of unexpected life histories of self-making. Tang’s engrossing ethnography offers a comparative analysis that neither replicates Euro-American accounts of sexual identity politics nor mimics the evolution of its authorized women’s movements. Instead, we encounter a world of same-sex desires, longings, and practices that reveal the day-to-day building of relationships and communities against the odds.”—David L.

Tang interviews women born in the 1930’s through the 1960’s, looking at how their lives differ across culture, class, and place, and how they lived and understood their own desires and social worlds. Through these tales of love, intimacy, family obligations, and personal respectability, she presents narrative accounts and analyses that complicate cultural notions of romance and desire at the intersections of gender roles, social class, and history. An ethnography grounded in inter-Asian cultural flows and connected histories, \u003ci\u003eEveryday Erotics\u003c\/i\u003e builds an archive of queer women’s lives and a genealogy of their experiences.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eNote on Romanization  ix\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments  xi\u003cbr\u003e Introduction  1\u003cbr\u003e 1.
