Summary This book sheds light on 'contact moments' between Japanese male-queer culture and that of the West in the postwar period. It shows how the interactions of the two cultures affected the formation of queer selves by focusing on a range of Japanese and English male-queer materials including magazines, memoirs and cybertexts. It is suitable as a textbook for courses which address the issues of queer identity, orientalism, post-colonial literature, and globalisation
