""Mobile Cultures" is a feast of a collection. This compelling anthology renders the mediated queer realities of Asia within a more dynamic global frame. Studies of the Internet, cinema, and other technologies unmoor queer Asia from its static and sedentary locations. A necessary addition to the burgeoning field of transnational queer cultural studies!"--Martin F. Manalansan IV, coeditor of "Queer Globalizations: Citizenship and the Afterlife of Colonialism"
