Reviews
“By charting the landscape of sexual minority venues and populations in Tokyo, Michelle H. S. Ho offers a compelling theory of queer and trans sociality, intimacy, and self-fashioning. Her engaging, provocative, and deeply informative study of new modes of gender identification in Japan makes an indelible contribution to discussions of global genders, trans markets, and neoliberal economies. Emergent Genders serves as a model for thinking about alternative gender and sexual practices outside of Europe and North America.”

“Emergent Genders is a wonderfully crafted and trenchantly analyzed ethnographic study that offers a more expansive notion of gender beyond the Western binaries of male/female. While focusing on the particularities and unique assemblage of genders in Tokyo’s nightclubs, Michelle H. S. Ho jumpstarts a global and transnational discussion and understanding of trans cultures, institutions, politics, and economies. This book will set the terms of future debates in gender and sexuality studies, queer and trans studies, East Asian and Japanese studies, anthropology, globalization, and beyond.”
