Sexuality and Citizenship

"Diane Richardson has long had a reputation for acute sensitivity to the emergent issues in our complex sexual world. In this comprehensive but compelling book she tackles the central but contested concept of sexual citizenship. In Richardson's steady hands this becomes a lens to explore a range of critical ideas, analyses and experiences, from subjectivities to belongings, sexual rights to neoliberalism, assimilation to recognition, the global to the local. The result is never less than illuminating and challenging, an invaluable guide to our perplexities."
Jeffrey Weeks, author of What is Sexual History?
 
"Drawing literature from geography, gender studies, sociology and political science, Richardson challenges us to think in an interdisciplinary way about the impact of structural differences and marginalizations. As the leading scholar in this field, Diane Richardson offers an insightful engagement with the concept, and political outcomes, of sexual citizenship which is undoubtedly a must read for any contemporary student of the social sciences."
