{"product_id":"shameless-arlene-stein-9780814740279","title":"Shameless: Sexual Dissidence in American Culture","description":"\u003cp\u003eShame, a powerful emotion, leads individuals to feel vulnerable, victimized, rejected. In \u003cb\u003eShameless\u003c\/b\u003e, noted scholar and writer Arlene Stein explores American culture's attitudes toward shame and sexuality.\u003cbr\u003eSome say that we live in a world without shame. But American culture is a curious mix of the shameless and the shamers, a seemingly endless parade of Pamela Andersons and Jerry Falwells strutting their stuff and wagging their fingers. With thoughtful analysis and wit, \u003cb\u003eShameless\u003c\/b\u003e analyzes these clashing visions of sexual morality.\u003cbr\u003eWhile conservatives have brought back sexual shame--by pushing for abstinence-only sex education, limitations on abortion, and prohibitions of gay\/lesbian civil rights--progressives hold out for sexual liberalization and a society beyond \"the closet.\" As these two Americas compete with one another, the future of family life, the right to privacy, and the very meaning of morality hang in the balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arlene Stein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814740278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814740279\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.34w x 0.74d","brand":"Arlene Stein","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425079279871,"sku":"9780814740279","price":107.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f2d4e2f5-a8b7-4623-a104-4431d6e9041d.jpg?v=1761536864","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shameless-arlene-stein-9780814740279","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
