Reviews

"...Across a tremendous range of situations in the global South and North, Correa, Petchesky and Parker explore the contentious politics of sexuality with verve, insight and courage. They offer new ideas about sexual and gender diversity, the political role of religion, and struggles in and around the United Nations. Their conclusion that sexual rights have a deep connection with economic justice is an important challenge to contemporary theory and practice..."Professor Raewyn Connell, author of Southern Theory and Masculinities"...A fascinating and rich exploration of the 'novel and expanding frontier of sexual politics' that is as full of emancipatory potential as it is of contradictions and tensions. This book bids fair to become a classic work on the intersections between sexuality, health and human rights..."Professor Gita Sen, Centre for Public Policy, Indian Institute of Management, India
