Description
Sexuality: A Very Short Introduction by Veronique Mottier provides a thoughtful exploration of major debates around sexuality in the modern world. This accessible introduction examines the social and political aspects of sexuality, critically exploring different ways of defining and thinking about it. The book delves into the historical and cultural contexts of sexuality, revealing how many of our assumptions about what is "natural" in the sexual domain have varied greatly across different times and places. It also examines how governments have tried to regulate citizens' sexualities through policies and laws concerning public health, HIV/AIDS, prostitution, and sex education. By discussing political activism around sexuality, Mottier sheds light on the ways in which feminists, lesbians, and gay men, as well as religious fundamentalists, have transformed our ways of thinking about sexuality over the past few decades.
