"For over 20 years, Sexuality has provided a cutting edge introduction to debates about sexualities, gender and intimate life. Previous editions included pioneering discussions of the historical shaping of sexuality, identity politics, the rise of fundamentalism, the social impact of AIDS, the influence of the new generics, 'global sex', queer theory, 'sex wars', the debates about values, new patterns of intimacy and much more. In this new edition, Jeffrey Weeks offers a thorough update of these debates, and introduces new concepts and issues."--BOOK JACKET.
