Abstract:

Since the early 1980s, scholars have been conducting research on mainland Southeast Asian Americans, mostly the Vietnamese, Cambodians, Laotians, and Hmong. The literature reveals that these Southeast Asian Americans have struggled to maintain certain cultural practices while simultaneously integrating into American society.1 Reconfi gured gender relationships have been examined, but sexuality-in particular, conjugal sexuality, a crucial component of these gender relationships-is rarely addressed. © 2008 by The Rutgers University Press.
