First published in 1998, Q&A: Queer in Asian America, edited by David L. Eng and Alice Y. Hom, has become a seminal work in Asian American studies and queer studies. This new edition of Q&A is neither a sequel nor an update, but rather an entirely new work that emerges from the progressive political and cultural advancements of the queer experiences of Asian North American communities. The artists, activists, community organizers, creative writers, poets, scholars, and visual artists who contribute to this exciting new volume bring to light the intricate interplay of sexuality with race, class, gender, and ethnicity. Sections address activism, radicalism, and social justice; transformations in the meaning of Asian-ness and queerness in various mass media issues; and issues of bodies, health, disability, gender transitions, death, healing, and resilience.

The visual art, autobiographical writings, poetry, scholarly essays, meditations, and analyses of histories and popular culture in the new Q&A gesture to enduring everyday racial-gender-sexual experiences of mis-recognition, micro-aggressions, loss, and trauma when racialized Asian bodies are questioned, pathologized, marginalized, or violated. This anthology seeks to expand the idea of Asian and American in LGBTQ studies.
