Reviews

Bisexuality is an accessible social studies book that identifies and analyses key aspects of the lives of bisexual and other non-monosexual individuals. ... book is supported throughout by reference to the scholarship of scholarship of other academics ... it functions very well as an introduction to bisexual social studies. ... book highlights several interesting gaps in existing scholarship, such as Indian bisexualities and bisexual parenting, but provides a solid theoretical framework upon which to start further research into these topics. (Danni Glover, LSE Review of Books, blogs.lse.ac.uk, April, 2016) Bisexuality: Identities, Politics, and Theories makes a substantial contribution to filling a gap in the current scholarship on sexuality. ... Monro has written a magisterial book that will become a 'must read' text in the field of sexuality for experienced scholars, students, and social activists ... . I thoroughly enjoyed reading Monro's book and I definitely recommend it. The current scholarship needed a book like this and I hope it will open the way for further research. (Dr. Bolzonar Fabio, British Sociological Association Network, Issue 123, Summer, 2016)


Despite the interesting discussion about sexual fluidity that has captured academic attention, sexual identity categories remain the basis of identity construction and politics for most of us in Euro-American nations. For students and professors wanting a wide-ranging and thoughtful overview of bisexuality, one need look no further then Surya Monro's ambitious and engaging book. -Steven Seidman, State University of New York, United States
