Bisexual Men in Culture and Society

This insightful book offers incisive examinations of the cultural meanings of bisexuality. These include the overlooked bisexual themes in James Baldwin's classic novels Another Country and Giovanni's Room, the conflicts within sexual-identity politics between gay men and bisexual men, and the recurring figure of the predatory, immoral bisexual man (often an AIDS carrier) in novels, films, and women's magazines. Bisexual Men in Culture and Society offers a brilliant analysis of the lives of bisexual men and their precarious position within a racist, sexist, and homophobic society.
