Summary:

"The first of its kind, Fear of Queer Taiwan critically examines the rise and fall of anti-LGBTQ movements in Taiwan, East Asia, and reveals their transnational flows and ebbs, adaptive strategies and discourses, and complex interplay with pro-LGBTQ liberalism and queer radicalism, offering a groundbreaking framework to understand moral conservatism's fluidity, mobility, transformability, and heterogeneity in rapidly changing global landscapes of gender and sexuality politics and queer/trans justice"-- Provided by publisher.
