Opis

This book provides an overview of research on bisexuality and bi+ people in Europe, counteracting the predominance of work on Bisexuality based in Ango-American contexts. Topics include pansexual identity, non-monogomies, asylum seekers and youth cultures. An essential collection for researchers in LGBTQI Studies and Sexuality Studies.

Recenzje

"A much needed anthology of bi+ research and theory, beyond the standard anglo-american focus. This book brings together a wealth of exciting and important chapters from a diverse range of locations and perspectives, with a particularly rich exploration of bi+ relationships of all kinds. A must-read for sexuality and relationship scholars."

- Meg-John Barker, author of The Bisexuality Report, The Psychology of Sex, and Sexuality: A Graphic Guide.

"Framed geographically as European, this collection is far-reaching in its relevance, challenges and insights. It takes us into the depth and breadth of excellent scholarship coming from both renowned established and ground-breaking emerging European scholars about bisexualities in Europe and bisexualities globally. Another strength of this collection is its embrace of the need to connect academia, advocacy, allyship and activism when addressing important issues such as asylum-seeking, religious repression, transphobia, bisexual health, sexual intimacies, misogyny and family diversity.."

- Maria Pallotta-Chiarolli, editor of Bisexuality in Education: Erasure, Exclusion by Inclusion, and the Absence of Intersectionality, author of Women in Relationships with Bisexual Men: Bi Men By Women
