First line
From the rear cover
For the greater part of the twentieth century, human sexuality was relegated to the realm of the biomedical sciences; only recently, as feminism and the gay and lesbian movement have called attention to questions of gender and identity, has it emerged as a key field in social analysis. These essays consider issues such as population, sexual and reproductive health, sexual negotiation and gender power, and the response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic from anthropological, sociological, political, and psychological perspectives. The chapters range widely, dealing with locales as diverse as Australia, Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico, Costa Rica, Argentina, the Philippines, South Africa, and Peru.
Drawing on insights from both feminist theory and gay and lesbian studies, the authors use the concept of the sexual subject not only as a focus for investigation but also as a call to action. They examine both daily practices andbroader movements.
