Queering Kinship : Non-heterosexual Couples, Parents, and Families in Guangdong, China, Hardback Book

Queering Kinship : Non-heterosexual Couples, Parents, and Families in Guangdong, China Hardback

Part of the Gender, Sexuality and Global Politics series

Hardback

Pre-Order

Description

Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Guangdong, China, this book asks: what does it mean for Chinese non-heterosexual people to go against existing state regulations and societal norms to form a desirable and legible queer family?

Chapters explore the various tactics queer people employ to have children and to form queer or ‘rainbow’ families.

The book unpacks people’s experiences of cultivating, or losing, kinship relations through their negotiation with biological relatives, cultural conventions and state legislations.

Through its analysis, the book offers a new ethnographic perspective for queer studies and anthropology of kinship.
