A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER BLACKWELL'S BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021
Essential lessons on the world we live in, from one of our greatest
young thinkers - a guide to what everybody is talking about today
'Unparalleled and extraordinary . . . A bracing revivification of a
crucial lineage in feminist writing' JIA TOLENTINO 'I believe Amia
Srinivasan's work will change the world' KATHERINE RUNDELL
'Rigorously researched, but written with such spark and verve. The
best non-fiction book I have read this year' PANDORA SYKES
------------------------- How should we talk about sex? It is a
thing we have and also a thing we do; a supposedly private act
laden with public meaning; a personal preference shaped by outside
forces; a place where pleasure and ethics can pull wildly apart. To
grasp sex in all its complexity - its deep ambivalences, its
relationship to gender, class, race and power - we need to move
beyond 'yes and no', wanted and unwanted. We need to rethink sex as
a political phenomenon. Searching, trenchant and extraordinarily
original, The Right to Sex is a landmark examination of the
politics and ethics of sex in this world, animated by the hope of a
different one. SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE 2022 LONGLISTED FOR
THE POLARI FIRST BOOK PRIZE 2022 LONGLISTED FOR THE BRITISH ACADEMY
