A bracing revivification of a crucial lineage in feminist writing' </b>JIA TOLENTINO <b>'I believe Amia Srinivasan's work will change the world' </b>KATHERINE RUNDELL <b>'Rigorously researched, but written with such spark and verve. The best non-fiction book I have read this year</b>' PANDORA SYKES <b> ------------------------- How should we talk about sex? </b> 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. 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 need to rethink sex as a political phenomenon. Searching, trenchant and extraordinarily original, <i>The Right to Sex</i> is a landmark examination of the politics and ethics of sex in this world, animated by the hope of a different one. <b>SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE 2022</b><b>LONGLISTED FOR THE POLARI FIRST BOOK PRIZE 2022</b><b>LONGLISTED FOR THE BRITISH ACADEMY BOOK PRIZE 2022</b>
