Reviews
"""With this dazzling collection of meditations and provocations from leading scholars in the field of sexuality studies, Unsafe Words offers something we desperately need: a place to ask the queer questions about consent that dare not speak their names. Can consent be queered? What happens when queer and feminist sexual politics clash over questions of consent? How does the prevailing consent paradigm perpetuate the harms of the criminal legal system and thwart more just possibilities for redress? This is a must-read for both activists and scholars of sexual ethics alike."" --Cati Connell ""author of A Few Good Gays: The Gendered Compromises behind Military Inclusion"" (9/30/2022 12:00:00 AM) ""We need Unsafe Words: Queering Consent in the #MeToo Era now more than ever. A vital cultural reckoning with sexual assault and harassment brought issues of consent to the forefront - but often oversimplified them. We now need a more nuanced discussion of how consent may be understood and enacted. This groundbreaking collection brings together voices that explore and expand how concepts as such as power, assent, identity, autonomy, and community function in many people's lives. It is imperative reading for everyone - policymakers, scholars, sexual liberationists - who grapples with these questions.""--Michael Bronski ""author of A Queer History of the United States"""
