{"product_id":"the-politics-of-sexuality-raymond-smith-9780313346842","title":"The Politics of Sexuality: A Documentary and Reference Guide","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince the landmark 1965 Supreme Court ruling \u003ci\u003eGriswold\u003c\/i\u003e v. \u003ci\u003eConnecticut\u003c\/i\u003e established a Constitutional right to privacy, the regulation of sexuality has become an extremely volatile area of American politics. From reproductive rights to sex education, pornography to gay marriage, the balance between community norms and individual autonomy has been fiercely contested. These and related subjects are often viewed in isolation, as though they were entirely separate issues. Yet as the documentary record makes clear, they are in fact closely interrelated, and their impact is cumulative. By addressing a broad array of topics at the intersection of sexuality and politics, this volume highlights the connections and makes an important contribution to a debate that touches every American. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTaking as a starting point the 1965 \u003ci\u003eGriswold\u003c\/i\u003e decision--sometimes said to have launched the sexual revolution--the approximately 100 primary source documents assembled here either mark watersheds in themselves or are representative of a broad range of political developments. The documents are drawn from all quarters of U.S. political life. They include legislative texts; proposed laws and constitutional amendments; state and federal court rulings; political party platforms; and interest-group position statements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raymond Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313346844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313346842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2010 pg. 71\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 91\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2010 pg. 129","brand":"Raymond Smith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47757383270655,"sku":"9780313346842","price":116.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ac2dddd-f896-40e5-a6eb-5f888b37aaca.jpg?v=1765510228","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-of-sexuality-raymond-smith-9780313346842","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
