“<i>Everyday Erotics</i> vividly presents abundant, fascinating data from a generation of older women, many of whom rarely speak publicly about their intimate lives. Tang provides a new, much-needed oral history of an Inter-Asian formation of queer female sexuality and community from the 1960s to the present.”—Amie Elizabeth Parry, English Department and the Center for the Study of Sexualities, National Central University, Taiwan<br /><br />“This singular study of older Chinese lesbians presents a series of unexpected life histories of self-making. Tang’s engrossing ethnography offers a comparative analysis that neither replicates Euro-American accounts of sexual identity politics nor mimics the evolution of its authorized women’s movements. Instead, we encounter a world of same-sex desires, longings, and practices that reveal the day-to-day building of relationships and communities against the odds.”—David L. Eng, author of <i>The Feeling of Kinship: Queer Liberalism and the Racialization of Intimacy</i>
