Book synopsis

This book offers readers the first anthropological analysis in French of male homosexuality in contemporary Japan. Although Japan has inspired a plethora of essentialist discourses by non-experts, there are few reference works in French on contemporary Japan, and none concerning sexuality (let alone sexual minorities and the anthropology of sexuality).As the product of original research combining personal experience, documentation derived from archives and participating observations (with numerous testimonies from gay Japanese men), this book is also intended to be an alternative to Western gay and lesbian activism and a critical inquiry into the imposition of a single activism model, as well as into the universality of fundamental human rights.
