{"product_id":"a-history-of-bisexuality-steven-angelides-9780226020907","title":"A History of Bisexuality","description":"Why is bisexuality the object of such skepticism? Why do sexologists steer clear of it in their research? Why has bisexuality, in stark contrast to homosexuality, only recently emerged as a nascent political and cultural identity? Bisexuality has been rendered as mostly irrelevant to the history, theory, and politics of sexuality. With \u003ci\u003eA History of Bisexuality\u003c\/i\u003e, Steven Angelides explores the reasons why, and invites us to rethink our preconceptions about sexual identity. Retracing the evolution of sexology, and revisiting modern epistemological categories of sexuality in psychoanalysis, gay liberation, social constructionism, queer theory, biology, and human genetics, Angelides argues that bisexuality has historically functioned as the structural other to sexual identity itself, undermining assumptions about heterosexuality and homosexuality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn a book that will become the center of debate about the nature of sexuality for years to come, \u003ci\u003eA History of Bisexuality\u003c\/i\u003e compels us to rethink contemporary discourses of sexual theory and politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Angelides\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226020908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226020907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.17w x 0.97d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLambda Book Report\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2002 pg. 22","brand":"Steven Angelides","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992894505215,"sku":"9780226020907","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2c2d4b40-a32e-49be-80b8-192c3f3267ec.jpg?v=1683321398","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-bisexuality-steven-angelides-9780226020907","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
