Whether reviewing the comparative national histories of birth
control, debating early cases of transsexual surgery, or
highlighting the resurgence of `traditional’ Asian medical
commodities, this volume provides accessible and productive studies
on these intriguing topics in Asia. Scholars of modern East Asia
and indeed anyone concerned with the analysis of gender and health
in light of intersecting postcolonial studies will find the book
rewarding.

A bold and important volume that explores the interweaving of
gender, body, and modernity throughout East Asia. With vivid
articles on sexuality, reproductive technologies, and sexual
identities, the book opens multiple possibilities for how `Asia as
method’ can shine new light on persistent theoretical questions
from biopower to biocitizenship.
