"Bisexuality: A Critical Reader" brings together for the first time in one volume some of the most important and influential writings on bisexuality of the last 100 years. The pieces in this unique collection explore this slippery and often controversial concept from a range of perspectives, placing it in its historical and cultural contexts and interrogating its many meanings and uses.
The reader is divided into four sections:
*"Genealogy of the Concept of Bisexuality" traces the ancestry of the concept and the ways in which its meanings have changed since the 1890s
*"Bisexual Identities and Bisexual Behaviors" samples some of the most important international research from the 1970s to the 1990s, discussing what it means to call oneself--or not to call oneself--"bisexual."
*"Bisexual Epistemologies" examines recent arguments that bisexuality is a revolutionary concept with a dangerous potential to subvert old ways of thinking about gender and sexuality
*"Differences" explores the inner dynamics of bisexuality and its possible futures in cyberspace.
Truly unique and invaluable, "The Bisexuality Reader" adds a critical voice in the study of sexuality.

Industry Reviews

"One of the greatest successes of this book is to convince the reader that the meaning of the term [bisexuality] is decidedly not self-evident... Those who are curious and want to know about bisexuality without the triple X content will get a thorough and satisfying introduction. Students, scholars or anyone with an interest will also find the book is a source for further research... For the humanist or anyone interested in promoting a world that is accepting of plurality, reading this book is worth the effort." -R. Dorling Rouse, "Humanist in Canada, Summer 2001 ..."Merl Storr has combined theoretical and empirical writings on bisexuality from a variety of disciplines, resulting in an excellent source for examining not only the subject of bisexuality, but also the research itself.." -Jessica Nathanson, University of Buffalo, August-December 2000 ..."the collection is a worthwhile one, and would be quite useful for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses.." -Jessica Nathanson, University of Buffalo, August-December 2000
