The book makes an excellent addition to studies of sexuality and the law, from general issues of privacy to specific issues, such as same sex marriage. Readers should find \u003ci\u003eSexual Citizens\u003c\/i\u003e worthwhile and engaging.\" -- \u003ci\u003eLaw and Politics Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Cossman significantly advances the literature on sexual citizenship, law and popular culture, lesbian and gay studies, and more broadly, the relationship between law and extra-legal forms of regulation. This is a fascinating and well-executed book.\" -- Carl F. Stychin * University of Reading *\u003cbr\u003e\"What we know from inside legal studies is that most of the places where legal systems actually make differences in people's lives are not in high-constitutional rights assertion but in the billions of small interactions that are subtended by law as a vastly diverse regulatory practice and as a space for political struggle. Cossman's book stands out for looking at sexuality as a regulatory domain, rather than as a place for the spectacular but distracting recognitions and de-recognitions afforded by current constitutional rights struggles.\" -- Janet Halley * Harvard Law School *","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405558882647,"sku":"9780804749961","price":48.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780804749961.jpg?v=1730492828","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/sexual-citizens-9780804749961","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
