Rezensionen

"In the contemporary world, we teach courses on the history of sexuality without attending to global processes at our peril. A Global History of Sexuality is just what the doctor ordered. With its wide-ranging chapters, accessible style, and introduction of important theoretical concepts, the volume introduces undergraduates (and interested others) to the ways sexuality has shaped the nation-state, imperialism, epidemics, migration, sex trafficking, the mass media, and sexual rights. This is a wonderful resource for the classroom and beyond."
--Leila J. Rupp, University of California, Santa Barbara

"This is truly a global history of modern sexuality. The chapters are organized around the processes and movements that transcend the borders of the nation state and thus allow us to understand the regulation, production, and dissemination of sexualities in broader historical perspective. By bringing this history into the present, the authors also open a window on the complex issues that confront sex activists and national and international policymakers."
--Robert A. Nye, Oregon State University
