In stripping the new politics of sex and power down to its fundamental and sometimes clashing principles, \u003ci\u003eThe Right to Sex\u003c\/i\u003e is a bracing revivification of a crucial lineage in feminist writing: Srinivasan is daring, compassionate, and in relentless search of a new frame.\"\u003cbr\u003e-Jia Tolentino, author of \u003ci\u003eTrick Mirror: Reflections on Self Delusion\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrilling, sharp, and deeply humane, philosopher Amia Srinivasan's \u003ci\u003eThe Right to Sex: Feminism in the Twenty-First Century\u003c\/i\u003e upends the way we discuss-or avoid discussing-the problems and politics of sex.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow should we think about sex? It is a thing we have and also a thing we do; a supposedly private act laden with public meaning; a personal preference shaped by outside forces; a place where pleasure and ethics can pull wildly apart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow should we talk about sex? Since #MeToo many have fixed on consent as the key framework for achieving sexual justice. Yet consent is a blunt tool. To grasp sex in all its complexity\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003eits deep ambivalences, its relationship to gender, class, race and power\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003ewe need to move beyond yes and no, wanted and unwanted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe do not know the future of sex-but perhaps we could imagine it. Amia Srinivasan's stunning debut helps us do just that. She traces the meaning of sex in our world, animated by the hope of a different world. She reaches back into an older feminist tradition that was unafraid to think of sex as a political phenomenon. She discusses a range of fraught relationships-between discrimination and preference, pornography and freedom, rape and racial injustice, punishment and accountability, students and teachers, pleasure and power, capitalism and liberation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Right to Sex: Feminism in the Twenty-First Century \u003c\/i\u003eis a provocation and a promise, transforming many of our most urgent political debates and asking what it might mean to be free.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49362801361200,"sku":"BDekm6","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/ekm6-Square-cover.jpg?v=1777483112","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-ekm6","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
