Refusing Compulsory Sexuality A Black Asexual Lens on Our Sex-Obsessed Culture【電子書籍】[ Sherronda J. Brown ]
<p><strong>For readers of <em>Ace</em> and <em>Belly of the Beast</em>: A Black queer feminist exploration of asexuality--and an incisive interrogation of the sex-obsessed culture that invisibilizes and ignores asexual and A-spec identity.</strong></p> <p>Everything you know about sex and asexuality is (probably) wrong.</p> <p>The notion that everyone wants sex--and that we all have to have it--is false. It’s intertwined with our ideas about capitalism, race, gender, and queerness. And it impacts the most marginalized among us. For asexual folks, it means that ace and A-spec identity is often defined by a queerness that’s not queer <em>enough</em>, seen through a lens of perceived lack: lack of pleasure, connection, joy, maturity, and even humanity.</p> <p>In this exploration of what it means to be Black and asexual in America today, Sherronda J. Brown offers new perspectives on asexuality. She takes an incisive look at how anti-Blackness, white supremacy, patriarchy, heteronormativity, and capitalism enact harm against asexual people, contextualizing acephobia within a racial framework in the first book of its kind. Brown advocates for the “A” in LGBTQIA+, affirming that to be asexual is to be queer--despite the gatekeeping and denial that often says otherwise.</p> <p>With chapters on desire, f*ckability, utility, refusal, and possibilities, <em><strong>Refusing Compulsory Sexuality</strong></em> discusses topics of deep relevance to ace and a-spec communities. It centers the Black asexual experience--and demands visibility in a world that pathologizes and denies asexuality, denigrates queerness, and specifically sexualizes Black people.</p> <p>A necessary and unapologetic reclamation, <em><strong>Refusing Compulsory Sexuality</strong></em> is smart, timely, and an essential read for asexuals, aromantics, queer readers, and anyone looking to better understand sexual politics in America.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
