This book, based on extensive original research, explores the formation of sexual identity and the sexual self of Taiwanese individuals. Drawing on findings from indepth interviews, the book considers individuals with a range of sexual orientations and partnership configurations and relates sexual identity to other components of identity, including national, moral, religious, ethnic, and occupational factors. Throughout, the book relates the sexual identities discussed to social and cultural theories. A complex, multifaceted portrait of Taiwanese cultural identity, this book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of Asian studies, Chinese studies, cultural studies, gender studies, sexuality studies, sociology, and cultural anthropology.
