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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHow 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmia Srinivasan\u003c\/b\u003e was born in 1984 in Bahrain and was raised in London, New York, Singapore, and Taiwan.
