Long Slow Burn: Sexuality and Social Science
ISBN: 9780415920445 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

To deny this one would have to overlook Kinsey's pioneering sex research in the 1950s, or the psychiatrist Evelyn Hooker's pathbreaking study of homosexuality, but also in the "sex talk" that lies at the heart of classic debates on kinship, inequality, cognition, and other foundational topics in the social sciences. What is different now, Weston claims, is the...
