Sexual Cultures and Migration in the Era of AIDS is the first
demographic anthropological study of what happens to sexual
behaviour and the rules of risk-taking in sexual encounters when
people migrate from countryside to city, from one city to another,
or from one country to another culture. It represents a milestone
in the study of cross-cultural sexuality and sexually transmitted
diseases. At the foreground of the study are commercial sex and
prostitution, sexual tourism, heterosexual marriage and social
pressure, and homosexuality and bisexuality in emerging sexual
cultures. The volume brings together quantitative and qualitative
case studies by an international panel of anthropologists,
demographers, and sociologists aimed at better understanding the
impact of human movement and mobility on sexual change and
fertility.

Is our sexuality determined primarily by our genes? Or is it shaped
by the social norms and expectations we happen to be born into.
This Very Short Introduction provides an accessible, thoughtful and
thought-provoking introduction to major debates around sexuality in
the modern world, highlighting the social and political aspects of
sexuality. It critically explores different ways of defining and
thinking about sexuality and shows that many of our assumptions
about what is "natural" in the sexual domain have, in reality,
varied greatly in different historical or cultural contexts. The
volume also examines ways in which governments have tried to
regulate citizens' sexualities in the past-through policies and
laws concerning public health, HIV/Aids, prostitution, and sex
education-paying special attention to the particular zeal with
which women's sexuality has been policed. The volume concludes by
discussing political activism around sexuality more widely,
focusing on the ways in which feminists, lesbians and gay men, as
well as religious fundamentalists have transformed our ways of
thinking about sexuality in the past few decades.

style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of

Statues of the god Priapus stood in Roman gardens to warn potential
thieves that the god would rape them if they attempted to steal
from him. In this book, Richlin argues that the attitude of sexual
aggressiveness in defense of a bounded area serves as a model for
Roman satire from Lucilius to Juvenal. Using literary,
anthropological, psychological, and feminist methodologies, she
suggests that aggressive sexual humor reinforces aggressive
behavior on both the individual and societal levels, and that Roman
satire provides an insight into Roman culture. Including a
substantial and provocative new introduction, this revised edition
is important not only as an in-depth study of Roman sexual satire,
but also as a commentary on the effects of all humor on society and
its victims.
