A History of Bisexuality

More about the book

Exploring the historical marginalization of bisexuality, Steven Angelides examines the skepticism surrounding it in sexology and its late emergence as a political identity. He argues that bisexuality has often been positioned as the "structural other" to sexual identity, challenging traditional views on heterosexuality and homosexuality. By analyzing various frameworks, including psychoanalysis and queer theory, the book invites a re-evaluation of contemporary sexual theory and politics, positioning itself as a pivotal contribution to ongoing debates about sexuality.
