If only every writer made this much beautiful sense.\" --Lisa Taddeo, author of \u003ci\u003eThree Women\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Amia Srinivasan is an unparalleled and extraordinary writer--no one X-rays an argument, a desire, a contradiction, a defense mechanism quite like her. In stripping the new politics of sex and power down to its fundamental and sometimes clashing principles, \u003ci\u003eThe Right to Sex\u003c\/i\u003e is a bracing revivification of a crucial lineage in feminist writing: Srinivasan is daring, compassionate, and in relentless search of a new frame.\" --Jia Tolentino, author of \u003ci\u003eTrick Mirror: Reflections on Self Delusion\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Thrilling, sharp, and deeply humane, the philosopher Amia Srinivasan's \u003ci\u003eThe Right to Sex: Feminism in the Twenty-First Century\u003c\/i\u003e upends the way we discuss--or avoid discussing--the problems and politics of sex.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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 for 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Right to Sex: Feminism in the Twenty-First Century\u003c\/i\u003e is a provocation and a promise, transforming many of our most urgent political debates and asking what it might mean to be free.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50038501835025,"sku":"CIN1250858798VG","price":7.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50148042014993,"sku":"CIN1250858798A","price":16.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51022139719953,"sku":"NIN9781250858795","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52105820700945,"sku":"CIN1250858798G","price":9.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1250858798.jpg?v=1750855991","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/right-to-sex-book-amia-srinivasan-9781250858795","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
