Description: New Book , Polish release The Sunday Times bestseller. The book won the Orwell Prize and Blackwell's Books of the Year award, and was shortlisted by the National Book Critics Circle.Gripping, sharp and deeply humanistic, Philosopher Amia Srinivasan's The Right to Sex turns the way we discuss - or avoid discussing - the issues and the concept of sex on its head. He asks what freedom can mean.In this collection of essays, Amia Srinivasan attempts to understand the importance of sex in our world, reaching back to the older feminist tradition, which was not afraid to think of sex as a political phenomenon. It discusses a range of tense relationships: between discrimination and preference, pornography and freedom, rape and racial injustice, punishment and responsibility, students and teachers, pleasure and power, capitalism and liberation."The book effectively highlights how sexual desire - who is attracted to us and who is not - is affected by politics and injustice in society, and how difficult it is to eradicate." - The Guardian"Srinivasan demonstrates how feminist philosophy can liberate our core ethical concepts from the shackles of patriarchy, capitalism and state racism - an outstanding and promising achievement." - Judith ButlerHOW SHOULD WE THINK ABOUT SEX?It is part of our lives, but this supposedly private act has political significance, and personal preferences are shaped by external conditions.How should we talk about sex?Since #MeToo, many people believe that consent is a key element in achieving sexual justice. However, consent is not everything. To capture sex in all its complexity - its deep ambiguity, its connection to class, race and power - we need to go beyond yes and no, wanted and unwanted.The above description comes from the publisher.
