The chapters explore shifting dynamics between state feminism, NGO and grassroots movements, the intersection of academia and intellectual discourse, the interplay of art and activism, the increasing reliance on digital media platforms, and the evolving (re)formations of transnational and diasporic alliances, alongside their creative strategic practices.Drawing on timely research and situated knowledges, the contributors offer innovative and provocative perspectives, supported by nuanced conceptual frameworks and rich empirical data. What are the specific characteristics of feminist activism grounded in the Sinosphere and Chinese contexts today? How is violence analyzed through an intersectional lens, and how do feminist engagements respond to precarity in the context of a pandemic and authoritarian governance?This anthology is an insightful and stimulating read for anyone interested in intersectional feminist mobilizations, contemporary Sinophone and Chinese society and politics, and LGBTQ+ studies.

Jingxue Zhang: The (Im)Possibility of Transnational Coalition in the Xi Era: Resilience, Strategy and SurvivalIndex Review As feminist/LGBTQ+ activism continues to be targeted as a threat to Xis rule in China, queer feminist voices have shifted from offline to online social media to engage public interest in gender and sexuality. Written entirely by Chinese researchers/activists in the diaspora, these timely and fascinating essays interrogation of the survival strategies of post-2010s feminist practice reveal the fragile line it treads between accommodating the constraints of the state, serving the individualising interests of the neoliberal capitalism, upholding principles of equality and inclusion for sexual minorities as well as women, and calling for transnational alliances as a condition of gender justice for all. * Harriet Evans, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK *This innovative book explores feminist activism in the Sinosphere, highlighting the intersections of digital arenas, queer and trans politics, and transnational coalitions. Its examination of evolving resistance strategies and the role of digital platforms is illuminating, making it an essential read for understanding transnational feminist movements in digital age. * Xin Huang, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA *Feminist Activism in the Post-2010s Sinosphere is a very welcome addition to the existing literature, bringing together authors with intimate knowledge of Chinese gender politics. Informed by the editors transnational and intersectional sensibilities, it is broader in scope than many other works on Chinese feminism in its inclusion of ethnic minority and queer perspectives, and the wider Sinosphere. The contributions testify to the multi-faceted complexity of Chinese feminism and the resilience, adaptability and creativity of activists in facing challenging times and restricted political space. * Stevi Jackson, University of York, UK *This anthology is a key resource for understanding feminist activism in China since 2010 in a transnational context. The contributors, who are activists and/or scholars from a global Chinese feminist community, reveal the changing dynamics of Chinas geopolitical landscape and the challenges faced by contemporary feminists. * Lucetta Kam, Hong Kong Baptist University, author of Shanghai Lalas: Female Tongzhi Communities and Politics in Urban China (2013) * Promotional Reveals the vibrancy and diversity of independent feminist activism in Xi-era China, with contributions and case studies from a wide range of scholarly disciplines Details ISBN1350419702 Author Jinyan Zeng Publisher Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Series Queering China: Transnational Genders and Sexualities Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781350419704 Format Hardcover Imprint Bloomsbury Academic Subtitle Identifying Issues, Sharing Knowledge, Building Movements Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Edited by Jinyan Zeng Audience Professional & Vocational Publication Date 2024-12-12 UK Release Date 2024-12-12 ISBN-10 1350419702 DEWEY 305.420951 Pages 208 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
