Summary

"This book would be the first book to locate the necropolitical within gays, heterosexual wives, and marriage fraud with Chinese characteristics. This book will be the first to explain how the notion of necropolitics is useful for the purposes of understanding how gay bodies in an East Asian setting are already subject to certain conditions of state-sanctioned stigma that result in slow death"-- Provided by publisher.
