Bhattacharyya shows how these theoretical positions apply to sexuality as it is experienced in contemporary society, and covers key topics such as: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* the ideology of heterosexuality\u003cbr\u003e* sex and the state\u003cbr\u003e* sex, race and 'the exotic'\u003cbr\u003e* age and sexuality\u003cbr\u003e* sex education and pornography. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book argues that the study of sexuality is an essential part of broader debates on gender, race, citizenship and community. Topical and original, it provides a systematic overview of theory combined with up-to-the minute discussion of social and race issues. It gives students a lucid map of the terrain, and an exciting starting point for their own investigations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gargi Bhattacharyya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415229030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415229036\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/23\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.42h x 6.20w x 0.46d","brand":"Gargi Bhattacharyya","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056068522239,"sku":"9780415229036","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a7c6edfb-1cb8-41f4-a504-e36f70f330cb.jpg?v=1685039336","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sexuality-and-society-gargi-bhattacharyya-9780415229036","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
