Reviews

"Unruly Figures provides a provocative and theoretically rich account of the uneven terrain of contemporary sexual politics." (Gender & Society) "Social commitment and intellectual vigour make this journey adventurous, and the author transmits its spirit through her evocative, lyrical writing." (Review of Development and Change) "This is an elegantly written book that makes a persuasive case for what Mokkil frames as a queer reading practice of dissident sexuality that works to keep such tensions open." (Journal of Asian Studies)
