Summary

"Sociology of Sexualities is the most comprehensive text to approach the study of sexuality from a sociological perspective. Drawing on the latest social scientific research on sexuality, it discusses fundamental concepts in the field and helps students integrate knowledge about sexuality into their larger understanding of society. Authors Kathleen J. Fitzgerald and Kandice L. Grossman cover topics such as the emergence of sexual identities; intersectionality across gender, sexuality, race, and class ; inequalities and discrimination faced by sexual and gender minorities; heterosexual and cisgender privilege; activism and mobilization to challenge such discrimination; the commodification of sexuality; and the ways sexuality operates in and through various institutions. It concludes with several chapters on social problems associated with sexuality such as the commodification of sexuality, including pornography, human trafficking, prostitution, prison sex, and a chapter on sexual violence"-- Provided by publisher.
