"Breaking new ground, both substantively and stylistically, the Handbook of the New Sexuality Studies offers students, academics and researchers an accessible, engaging introduction and overview of this emerging field. The central premise of the volume is to explore the social character of sexuality, the role of social differences such as race or nationality in creating sexual variation, and the ways sex is entangled in relations of power and inequality. Through this novel approach the field of sexuality is therefore considered, for the first time, in multicultural, global, and comparative terms and from a truly social perspective.This important volume has been built around a collection of newly commissioned articles, essays and interviews with leading scholars, consisting of:? Over 50 short and original essays on the key topics and themes in sexuality studies? Interviews with 12 leading scholars in the field which convey some of the most innovative work being doneEach contribution isoriginal and conveys the latest thinking and research in writing that is clear and that uses examples to illustrate key points.The Handbook of the New Sexuality Studies will be an invaluable resource to all those with an interest in sexuality studies."--Publisher description.
