We are almost programmed into thinking of our sexuality as a wholly natural feature of life. But sexual relations are but one form of social relations, as Jeffrey Weeks makes clear in his book.
Sexuality has both a history and a sociology -- it is not simply a matter of biological or psychological 'drives'. Drawing on the analyses of Michel Foucault, and other modern theorists, the book examines the social, moral and political issues raised by contemporary forms of sexuality.
Dr Weeks provides an authoritative introduction to the sociology of sexuality, discussing its cultural and socio-historical construction, its relationship with power and the State's involvement in its rationalisation and regulation.
This book will be an indispensable introduction to this complex and expanding field.
