The World We Have Won is a major study of transformations in
erotic and intimate life since 1945. We are living in a world of
transition, in the midst of a long, unfinished but profound
revolution that has transformed the possibilities of living out our
sexual diversities.
This book provides a balance sheet of the changes that have
transformed our ways of being, from welfarism to the pill, women's
and gay liberation, from globalization, consumerism and
individualization to new forms of intimacy, from friends as family
to same sex marriage. Some respond to these challenges with a deep
cultural pessimism or moral conservatism. It rejects such views and
argues that this is a world we are increasingly making for
ourselves, part of the long process of democratization of everyday
life. Unless we grasp this we cannot understand, not only the
problems and anxieties, but the opportunities and hopes in this
world we have won.
