From a post-Marxist point of view, Hongwei Bao’s monograph on queer and gay opposition and subject formation in China presents a unique and well-researched glimpse into the circumstances under which queer political practices and activisms, gay mobilization and tongzhi claims for a right to a place in contemporary Chinese society are carried out. In the Maoist-era tongzhi referred to the ubiquitous “comrade,” but in postsocialist China it was reappropriated by Hong Kong activists and can now also refer to homosexuals or other sexual minorities. The monograph unfolds around themes of resistance and subjectivity through queer filmmaking, digital video activisms, diaries from conversion therapy, prefigurative politics, film festivals, mobilization, clash and friendship in contemporary China.
