Description
Sexuality, in all societies, pervades every aspect of social existence and remains an enigmatic theme of research in social sciences.
Addressing the relationship between sex, gender, and sexuality, this volume establishes a firm analytical framework for sexuality studies in India. It widely covers the interconnected dimensions of history, legality, religion, class, sexual orientation, politics, and power.
It engages with a host of themes, ranging from the colonial sexologists and pulp literature to family courts; the development discourses to queer imagery in Hindu nationalistic imagination; the laws on perversion and prostitution to romance and the Indian media; and the established patterns of research on sexuality in India.
Sexuality Studies explores the dimensions of history, legality, sexual cultures, power politics, community and values, race, and class. The essays engage with these dimensions in the prevalent discourses of Indian sexual cultures.
Outlining the contours and main themes of sexuality studies in India, this volume will provide a lasting foundation to this immensely important field.
Presenting a nuanced view of sexual cultures in India, this book will be indispensable to students and scholars of sociology, social anthropology, gender studies, social psychology, and the informed general reader.

Review
"By fundamentally questioning what sex really means ... the essays in this volume ... take the scholarly conversation to a new, exciting, and theoretically sophisticated level of sociological understanding."
— Joseph S. Alter
Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Pittsburg
"This cutting-edge collection brings together research that ... historicizes sexuality [and] explores its changing meanings and political economies. Elegantly written and eloquently argued, this is a must read."
— Urvashi Butalia
Director, Zubaan Books and author of The Other Side of Silence
"This powerful collection moves sexuality beyond being adequately comprehended as a psychological effect of a cultural or neurobiological matrix or as a singular site of discipline and power."
— Lawrence Cohen
Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Berkeley
"This compelling anthology urges us to rethink the phrase 'cultures of sexuality' by demonstrating that such cultures are complex, heterogeneous, hybrid, fluid, and significantly shaped by the specificities of their context."
