The writing is so propulsive and authoritative, yet full of poetry and depth, that anyone reading the book will take away something of value." — Grant Hayter-Menzies, author of The Empress and Mrs. Conger- Depicts gay paradises in Southeast Asia and the men who created them.- Studies the obstacles gay men have faced in securing a voice as citizens, how they used images of paradise in Bali, Bangkok, and Singapore to create a sense of refuge, construct homes, and dissent from typical notions of manhood and masculinity.- Examines the pursuit of sexual justice, the ideologies of manhood they challenged, and the geographic and online spaces they created.Gary L. Atkins is a professor of communication at Seattle University in the United States.We are very interested in your comments and suggestions on this service.
