“In Asians Loving Asians, Shinsuke Eguchi offers a much needed intervention into the exploration of gay sexual cultures and the meaning attributed to whiteness and white desires within gay communities both nationally and globally and the impact such desires have on multiple different arenas. Through adapt use of various methods and theoretical perspectives, this work demonstrates the ways that ‘sticky rice,’ the coupling of two Asian men in sexual relationships, can both be powerful and problematic. This book is a major accomplishment that will shape how we perceive inter and intra racial desire and the wide reaching impact of such desires beyond personal intimacies.”—Chong-suk Winter Han, Professor of Sociology, Middlebury College and Author of Geisha of a Different Kind: Race and Sexuality in Gaysian America and Racial Erotics: Gay Men of Color, Sexual Racism, and the Politics of Desire
