This book examines sexuality in the past, and explores how it helps
explain sexuality in the present. The subject of sexuality is often
a controversial one, and exploring it through a world history
perspective emphasizes the extent to which societies, including our
own, are still reacting to historical change through contemporary
sexual behaviors, values, and debates. The study uses a clear
chronological structure to focus on major patterns and changes in
sexuality-both sexual culture and sexual behaviors-in the main
periods of world history, covering topics including: * The sexual
implications of the transition from hunting and gathering economies
to agricultural economies; * Sexuality in classical societies; *
The postclassical period and the spread of the world religions; *
Sex in an age of trade and colonies; * Changes in sexual behaviors
and sexual attitudes between 1750 and 1950; * Sex in contemporary
world history. This new edition examines these issues on a global
scale, with attention to anthropological insights on sexuality and
their relationship to history, the dynamics between sexuality and
imperialism, sexuality in industrial society, and trends and
conflicts surrounding views of sex and sexuality in the
contemporary world.
