Defying the AIDS epidemic, Asian American activists sparked a sex-affirming movement
Eric C. Wat is author of The Making of a Gay Asian Community: An Oral History of Pre-AIDS Los Angeles and SWIM, a novel.
"Wat does an excellent job of conveying these emotional and inspirational stories of activism... This book is an inspiring work that deserves to be read as it is an integral piece towards understanding the queer Asian American struggle for sexual liberation and health equity." (International Examiner) "With careful investigation, sincere testimonials, and a deep understanding of the connections between identity, health, and activism, Wat paints a vivid and compassionate picture of Asian American communities in Los Angeles struggling with the effects of the AIDS pandemic." (Social Identities) "Love Your Asian Body is a clarion call to understand one's body not merely as a site for biotechnological intervention and individualized consumption but also as the source for envisioning social connectivities and political collectivities anew" (H-Net)
