Tim Edwards is Lecturer in Sociology at Oxford Brookes University.
"too brief for too big" according to Jackson Sexson. Edwards tryed to cover the arena size dimension of (not just male homosexuality) but masculinity and feminism to boot- in a micro court of 172 pages! the paragraphs are stuffy, the chapters are inconsistent. keep looking.
The central focus of attention throughout is the nature, development and consequence of gay male sexuality and masculinity. In doing so it covers a wide range of issues of concern to gay and feminist movements over the past twenty five years including gay liberational sexuality, sado-masochism, pornography, promiscuity, personal relationships, AIDS and postmodernity. Erotics and Politics provides an interface between the study of sexuality (particularly gay male studies) and gender (primarily feminism). This book is unique in its coverage of a wide range of issues and connecting subjects which are typically examined separately.
