In her groundbreaking book,\u003cem\u003e Mobilizing Gay Singapore\u003c\/em\u003e, Lynette Chua tells the history of the gay rights movement in Singapore and asks what a social movement looks like under these circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe examines the movement's emergence, development, strategies, and tactics, as well as the roles of law and rights in social processes. Chua uses in-depth interviews with gay activists, observations of the movement's activities, movement documents, government statements, and media reports. She shows how activists deploy \"pragmatic resistance\" to gain visibility and support, and tackle political norms that suppress dissent, while avoiding direct confrontations with the state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLynette J.
