E-raamat: Feminist Activism in the Post-2010s Sinosphere: Identifying Issues, Sharing Knowledge, Building Movements

As feminist/LGBTQ+ activism continues to be targeted as a threat to Xis rule in China, queer feminist voices have shifted from offline to online social media to engage public interest in gender and sexuality. Written entirely by Chinese researchers/activists in the diaspora, these timely and fascinating essays interrogation of the survival strategies of post-2010s feminist practice reveal the fragile line it treads between accommodating the constraints of the state, serving the individualising interests of the neoliberal capitalism, upholding principles of equality and inclusion for sexual minorities as well as women, and calling for transnational alliances as a condition of gender justice for all. * Harriet Evans, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK * This innovative book explores feminist activism in the Sinosphere, highlighting the intersections of digital arenas, queer and trans politics, and transnational coalitions. Its examination of evolving resistance strategies and the role of digital platforms is illuminating, making it an essential read for understanding transnational feminist movements in digital age. * Xin Huang, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA * Feminist Activism in the Post-2010s Sinosphere is a very welcome addition to the existing literature, bringing together authors with intimate knowledge of Chinese gender politics. Informed by the editors transnational and intersectional sensibilities, it is broader in scope than many other works on Chinese feminism in its inclusion of ethnic minority and queer perspectives, and the wider Sinosphere. The contributions testify to the multi-faceted complexity of Chinese feminism and the resilience, adaptability and creativity of activists in facing challenging times and restricted political space. * Stevi Jackson, University of York, UK * This anthology is a key resource for understanding feminist activism in China since 2010 in a transnational context. The contributors, who are activists and/or scholars from a global Chinese feminist community, reveal the changing dynamics of Chinas geopolitical landscape and the challenges faced by contemporary feminists. * Lucetta Kam, Hong Kong Baptist University, author of Shanghai Lalas: Female Tongzhi Communities and Politics in Urban China (2013) *
