Main description:

This book:

sheds light on the intersectionality of lived experiences, including gender, sexuality, family, (mental) health, race and ethnicity, migration, and nationality, offering a picture of a community whose experience is deeply embedded in the dynamic society around.
takes an innovative approach in viewing the community as an integral part of the world in flux, rather than an isolated monoracial and monolingual tightly-knit entity.
is ideal for students and scholars of Gender Studies, LGBTQ Studies, Sociology, Health, and Asian Studies.
