Publisher's Notes
An exploration of the ideas and values behind the debate over sex education is told from the perspectives of today's parents, in a sociological study that traces sex education in schools throughout the past century and argues that parental attitudes, divided cultural values, and sexual choices are affecting education today. By the author of Abortion and the Politics of Motherhood.

Foucault's Virginity
by Simon Goldhill
This is a study of how sex and sexuality were written about in the first centuries of this era, a central period in the history of sexuality. Writing with the same wit and verve as the ancient writers he engages with, Simon Goldhill shows how the standard accounts of sexuality in this period are distorted by ignoring the sexy, ironic and often bizarre texts of the ancient novel, erotic poetry and humorous dialogues.
White Women, Black Men
by Martha Hodes
This book is the first to explore the history of a powerful category of illicit sex in America's past: liaisons between Southern white women and black men. In telling a series of stories about such liaisons in the years before the Civil War, Martha Hodes explores the complex ways in which white Southerners tolerated these relationships in the slave South, and shows how and why these responses changed with emancipation.
The Erotic Imagination
by Vernon A. Rosario
Filled with extraordinary case studies and written in prose that is as lively and entertaining as it is insightful, this book offers both a history of the erotic imagination and its narrative expressions, as well as a fascinating mirror in which our contemporary ambivalence about sexuality--from the acrimonious rhetoric of family values to censorship of pornography and hostility towards gays--takes on surprising new significance.
