Review # 1 was written on 2014-11-20 00:00:00 Bryan Walker ...this book offers an in depth look at male sexuality by a psychologist and the men he worked with. it's about 2/3 analysis and 1/3 interview anecdotes which i found very helpful to read. the interviews helped me identify patterns in my own experiences and think more clearly about them and also offer possible ways to develop more intimate and fulfilling relationships with men (but also everyone!).

Review # 2 was written on 2020-01-08 00:00:00 Peter Fuentes Montoya We're lucky to have Yan: he's utterly fluent in a Chinese world and in an elite anglophone academe. He helps bridge the two. And Yan also straddles the eras in China: he and his family directly experienced Maoist China, with its collectivization and Cultural Revolution, as well as much of post-reform era China. Yan is a methodical fieldworker, returning often to a couple of villages in China. He has some good guanxi (social relationships embedded in reciprocity) there, and has built up trust and intimacy with some people. Still the book never really satisfies. Yan is more of a data collector than a theorist. When he does present theory, it's pretty classic stuff. He's not interested in performativity, the relationality of power, or discourse. It reads more like a 1970s work than one from this century. Still, it's a valuable record of a remarkable era in a place called China.
