Law and Sexuality The Global Arena Carl Stychin and Didi Herman, editors		$30.00 Paper ISBN: 0-8166-3870-5 ISBN-13: 978-0-8166-3870-3
A unique, international look at the intersection of law and the most personal of rights. Law and Sexuality brings together leading scholars from four continents to consider topics ranging from Tasmanian sodomy laws to the South African constitution, from domestic partnership in Hawaii to London's urban geographies. The authors take on some of the most pressing issues in social and legal theory and practice today: crime and criminality, partnership and families, nationality and postcolonialism, the politics of rights struggles, and globalization. Encompassing a broad spectrum of perspectives, from literary analysis and postcolonial studies to feminist, queer, and critical race theory, their analysis maps the current state of the global intersections between law and sexuality and social change.
