The past fifty years are conventionally understood to have
witnessed an uninterrupted expansion of sexual rights and liberties
in the United States. This state-of-the-art collection tells a
different story: while progress has been made in marriage equality,
reproductive rights, access to birth control, and other areas,
government and civil society are waging a war on stigmatized sex by
means of law, surveillance, and social control. The contributors
document the history and operation of sex offender registries
and the criminalization of HIV, as well as highly punitive
measures against sex work that do more to harm women than to combat
human trafficking. They reveal that sex crimes are punished more
harshly than other crimes, while new legal and administrative
regulations drastically restrict who is permitted to have sex. By
examining how the ever-intensifying war on sex affects both
privileged and marginalized communities, the essays collected here
show why sexual liberation is indispensable to social justice and
human rights. Contributors. Alexis Agathocleous, Elizabeth
