Summary:
"Thrilling, sharp, and deeply humane, philosopher Amia Srinivasan's The
Right
to
Sex
:
Feminism
in the
Twenty-First
Century
upends the way we discuss -- or avoid discussing -- the problems and politics of
sex
. How should we think about
sex
? It is a thing we have and also a thing we do; a supposedly private act laden with public meaning; a personal preference shaped by outside forces; a place where pleasure and ethics can pull wildly apart. How should we talk about
sex
? Since #MeToo many have fixed on consent as the key framework for achieving sexual justice. Yet consent is a blunt tool. To grasp
sex
in all its complexity -- its deep ambivalences, its relationship to gender, class, race and power -- we need to move beyond yes and no, wanted and unwanted. We do not know the future of
sex
-- but perhaps we could imagine it. Amia Srinivasan's stunning debut helps us do just that. She traces the meaning of
sex
in our world, animated by the hope of a different world. She reaches back into an older feminist tradition that was unafraid to think of
sex
as a political phenomenon. She discusses a range of fraught relationships -- between discrimination and preference, pornography and freedom, rape and racial injustice, punishment and accountability, students and teachers, pleasure and power, capitalism and liberation. The
Right
to
Sex
:
Feminism
in the
Twenty-First
Century
is a provocation and a promise, transforming many of our most urgent political debates and asking what it might mean to be free."--Publisher.
