A tour of polyamory in America over the last 50 years. Fifty Years
of Polyamory in America: A Guided Tour to a Growing Movement is
unique among the many books about polyamory because the scope of
this book is the entire history of the polyamory movement. Instead
of concentrating on the experiences of a few people exploring
alternate lifestyles, it is an exploration of two generations of
Americans, the people and the organizations they founded, what they
have chosen to do, and how it has changed their lives and affected
the culture as a whole. Written in an entertaining and easily
accessible style, the authors cover the history of alternative
sexual relationship styles starting with a quick peek at colonial
times, the Mormon and Oneida movements of the 1840s-70s, and modern
day influences starting in the 1950s. Polyamory, literally "many
loves," challenges the relationship norm: monogamy. As its name
suggests, polyamory typically refers to emotional/sexual
relationships that include multiple partners. Common applications
of polyamory include open marriages, triad (three people),
two-couple (four people) "marriages," and larger groups like
intimate networks. Swingers are a subset of non-monogamy who often
identify as poly. Throughout the course of Fifty Years of Polyamory
in America, we explore the history of the polyamory movement: from
clinical definitions and attempts at psychiatric treatment, to the
advent of advocacy groups in the 1960s and '70s, to contemporary
practitioners and the future of the movement. A wide range of
personal stories from advocates and practitioners guides the
narrative to the modern day, highlighting the struggles and
successes of the movement throughout the years.
