- Description
- Based on 60 in-depth interviews with a diverse group of straight men and women, this book explores how straight Americans make sense of their sexual and gendered selvese, particularly with an understanding of how race does and does not play a role. Dean provides a historical understanding of heterosexuality and how it was first established, then moves on to examine the changing nature of masculinity and femininity and, most importantly, the emergence of a new kind of heterosexuality—notably, for men, the metrosexual, and for women, the emergence of a more fluid sexuality.
