Recensioner i media

“Each essay draws on an impressive array of secondary sources and the authors’ own primary research to highlight how the discourses and practices of sexuality that most people take for granted are in fact expressions of global, socially constructed, and historically contingent patterns.” (H-Histsex, March 2015)
