Description
A landmark examination of the politics and ethics of sex in this world, animated by the hope of a different one. Amia Srinivasan searches the complex and often contradictory nature of sex, exploring its relationship to gender, class, race and power. This is a deeply ambivalent and urgently needed conversation about the very foundations of our society. The Right to Sex is a searching and trenchant analysis of the ways in which sex is shaped by outside forces, and how it can be a place of both pleasure and ethics. It is a call to rethink sex as a political phenomenon, and to move beyond the simplistic 'yes and no' of personal preference. Through its rigorous research and original insight, this book offers a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the world we live in today.
