Book Review:
Kam Louie's ''Theorising Chinese Masculinity'' is a comprehensive analysis using the indigenous concepts of wen (cultural attainment) and wu (martial valor). Revising Western analyses that rely on the yin-yang binary, Louie examines classical and contemporary Chinese literature and film. This book looks at Chinese masculinity within and outside China, using a largely indigenous framework. It's an exciting addition to the field for anyone interested in Chinese society, gender, and culture.
