Don't be a snob about the graphic format, Sexuality delivers the
goods, making the history and theory of sexuality downright sexy.
Following the fact-packed formula of the previous books on Queer
and Gender I learned more in one session with this book than I've
figured out in a lifetime.
*Christine Burns MBE, author of Trans Britain:Our Journey from the
Shadows*
A whistle-stop tour of our understanding of human sexuality through
history, from the power dynamics of sodomy in the ancient world via
the centuries-old stereotype of feminine passivity to scientific
studies by the likes of Freud and Kinsey, indicates sexuality's
shifting nature ... an erudite, eye-opening primer on our "fluid
and ever unfolding" identities.
*Foreword Reviews*
The art introduces a set of reoccurring characters, tongue-in-cheek
references to the Scooby-Doo gang, who journey through a haunted
house confronting and unmasking the villains: patriarchy, white
supremacy, ableism, and capitalism personified ... The sum:
accessible, compassionate reading for readers wanting to think more
deeply about sex, society, and how they intersect.
*Publishers Weekly*
A very informative and inclusive look at sexuality throughout
history. ... This is a must have for teens and up. The way sex and
sexuality is discussed in this graphic novel is a good baseline for
how sex-ed and discussions about these topics should be handled. I
will absolutely be adding this to my library's collection as well
as my own personal bookshelf.
*Gabriel Jayroe, Peabody Institute Library*
The latest offering from Meg-John Barker and Jules Scheele is just
as fantastic as their first book: Queer: A Graphic History. Full of
quotes from experts and wonderful illustrations, I cannot recommend
this book enough.
*Annie Carl, The Neverending Bookshop*
