Sex, Culture, and Modernity in China
by Frank Dikotter
"[Dikotter] argues that Western sexual discourses merged with centuries-old Chinese views.... This is the first book-length work to articulate this controversial stance against a monolithic, modern sexuality in twentieth-century China." --American Historical Review"This discursive study has opened up new paths, offered new interpretations ... and, perhaps inadvertently, presented evidence that can sustain some old ones about how a threatened and defensive nationalism shaped many of the discourses in modern Chinese intellectual life, not just the political ones." --China Review International, Fall 1996
