In \u003cem\u003eLove's Refraction\u003c\/em\u003e, Jillian Deri explores the distinctive question of how and why polyamorists - people who practice consensual non-monogamy - manage jealousy. Her focus is on the polyamorist concept of \"compersion\" - taking pleasure in a lover's other romantic and sexual encounters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy discussing the experiences of queer, lesbian, and bisexual polyamorous women, Deri highlights the social and structural context that surrounds jealousy. Her analysis, making use of the sociology of emotion and feminist intersectionality theory, shows how polyamory challenges traditional emotional and sexual norms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClear and concise, \u003cem\u003eLove's Refraction\u003c\/em\u003e speaks to both the academic and the polyamorous community. Deri lets her interviewees speak for themselves, linking academic theory and personal experiences in a sophisticated, engaging, and accessible way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jillian Deri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442637099\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442637092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Jillian Deri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48622245347583,"sku":"9781442637092","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/loves-refraction-jillian-deri-9781442637092","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
