Stevi Jackson is a Senior Lecturer in Sociology and Women's Studies at the University of Strathclyde. Her most recent publications include The Politics of Domestic Consumption: Critical Readings (co-edited with Shaun Moores) and Feminism and Sexuality: A Reader (co-edited with Sue Scott).
With heterosexuality currently being examined more rigorously than ever before, this accessible and engaging book charts the development of feminist and sociological theorizing on sexuality and the emergence of a radical critique of heterosexuality. Stevi Jackson reviews a range of important theoretical and substantive issues, and she demonstrates an important shift in feminist thinking from an emphasis on male dominance within heterosexual relations to a critical perspective on heterosexuality itself. Her book will be relevant to scholars and students in the fields of women's studies, lesbian and gay studies and the sociology of sexuality.
