- Description
- Abortion, pornography, gay marriage, homosexuality, and HIV are a few in a long line of issues that have erupted into panics. These sexual panics spark moral crusades and campaigns, defining how we think about sexual and reproductive rights. The essays in this book focus on case studies ranging from sex education to AIDS to race and the 'down low,' to illustrate how sexuality is at the heart of many political controversies. The contributors also reveal how moral and sexual panics have become a mainstay of certain kinds of conservative efforts to win elections and gain power in moral, social, and political arenas. The authors provide new insights into the role that key moral panics have played in social processes, arguing against the political abuse of sex panics and for the need to defend full sexual and reproductive rights.

- Description
- The author elucidates racial politics and racial subjugation, especially in their gendered and queer psychosexual dynamics. Explicating in detail two imprinting episodes in American racial history -lynching and prison rape- Pinar argues that the gender of racial politics and violence in America is in some sense queer. He pays attention to the Klu Klux Klan, the N.A.A.C.P., men and women and racial politics and women's movements.

- Description
- The author examines the historical forces that have fueled the feminist movement over the past two hundred years, and explores how women today are looking to feminism for new approaches to issues of work, family, sexuality, and creativity. .Freedman begins with an incisive analysis of what feminism means and why it took root in western Europe and the United States at the end of the eighteenth century. The rationalist, humanistic philosophy of the Enlightenment, which ignited the American Revolution, also sparked feminist politics, inspiring such pioneers as Mary Wollstonecraft and Susan B. Anthony. Race has always been as important as gender in defining feminism, and Freedman traces the intricate ties between women’s rights and abolitionism in the United States in the years before the Civil War and the long tradition of radical women of color, stretching back to the impassioned rhetoric of Sojourner Truth. .As industrialism and democratic politics spread after World War II, feminist politics gained momentum and sophistication throughout the world. Their impact began to be felt in every aspect of society–from the workplace to the chambers of government to relations between the sexes. Because of feminism, Freedman points out, the line between the personal and the political has blurred, or disappeared, and issues once considered 'merely' private–abortion, sexual violence, homosexuality, reproductive health, beauty and body image–have entered the public arena as subjects of fierce, ongoing debate.
