Moreover, China's late imperial government was arguably more concerned about gender and sexuality among its subjects than any other pre-modern state. Sexual desire and sexual activity were viewed as innate human needs, essential to bodily health and well-being, and universal marriage and reproduction served the state by supplying tax-paying subjects, duly bombarded with propaganda about family values. How did these and other late imperial legacies shape twentieth-century notions of gender and sexuality in modern China? In this wonderfully written and enthralling book, Susan Mann answers that question by focusing in turn on state policy, ideas about the physical body, and notions of sexuality and difference in China's recent history, from medicine to the theater to the gay bar; from law to art and sports. More broadly, the book shows how changes in attitudes toward sex and gender in China during the twentieth century have cast a new light on the process of becoming modern, while simultaneously challenging the universalizing assumptions of Western modernity"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000453081 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000453081 650_0 $$aSex role$$zChina. 000453081 650_0 $$aWomen$$zChina. 000453081 650_0 $$aSex$$zChina. 000453081 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMann, Susan, 1943-$$tGender and sexuality in modern Chinese history.$$dNew York : Cambridge University Press, 2011$$z9780521865142$$z9780521683708 000453081 8520_ $$bacq 000453081 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000453081 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000453081 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=807171$$zOnline Access 000453081 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=807171$$zOnline Access 000453081 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:453081$$pGLOBAL_SET 000453081 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000453081 980__ $$aBIB 000453081 982__ $$aEbook 000453081 983__ $$aOnline
