Description

Sexual identities are dangerous, Michel Foucault tells us. Here, Ladelle McWhorter reads Foucault from an original and personal angle and takes the reader beyond unexplored norms and imposed identities as she points the way toward a personal politics, ethics, and style that challenge our sexual selves.
