contemporary <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">China</st1:country-region></st1:place>
in relation to liberal distinctions between public space and private desires.
Following anthropologist Lisa Rofel's recent scholarship on expressive desire,
Professor Eng investigates the ways in which Chinese gays and lesbians are
positioned as ideal individuals who are uniquely capable of embracing their
private desires and thus are at the vanguard of a new modernity in <st1:place
