"Erotics and Politics" provides an interface between the study of sexuality (particularly gay male studies) and gender (primarily feminism). In doing so, it covers a wide range of issues of concern to gay and feminist movements over the past 25 years, including gay liberational sexuality, sado-masochism, pornography, promiscuity, personal relationships, AIDS and postmodernity. The central focus of attention throughout is the nature, development and consequence of gay male sexuality and masculinity. This study aims to cover a wide range of issues, and to connect subjects which are typically examined separately.

3.0 out of 5 stars
too brief for too big,
This review is from: Erotics and Politics: Gay Male Sexuality, Masculinity and Feminism (Critical Studies on Men and Masculinities) (Hardcover)
Edwards tryed to cover the arena size dimension of (not just male homosexuality) but masculinity and feminism to boot- in a micro court of 172 pages! the paragraphs are stuffy, the chapters are inconsistent. keep looking.
