Trade Review“Bisexuality is an accessible social studies book that identifies and analyses key aspects of the lives of bisexual and other non-monosexual individuals. … book is supported throughout by reference to the scholarship of scholarship of other academics … it functions very well as an introduction to bisexual social studies. … book highlights several interesting gaps in existing scholarship, such as Indian bisexualities and bisexual parenting, but provides a solid theoretical framework upon which to start further research into these topics.” (Danni Glover, LSE Review of Books, blogs.lse.ac.uk, April, 2016)
“Bisexuality: Identities, Politics, and Theories makes a substantial contribution to filling a gap in the current scholarship on sexuality. … Monro has written a magisterial book that will become a ‘must read’ text in the field of sexuality for experienced scholars, students, and social activists … . I thoroughly enjoyed reading Monro’s book and I definitely recommend it. The current scholarship needed a book like this and I hope it will open the way for further research.” (Dr. Bolzonar Fabio, British Sociological Association Network, Issue 123, Summer, 2016)
