Sally Hines & Yvette Taylor 
Sexualities: Past Reflections, Future Directions [PDF ebook] 

This collection examines recent theoretical and methodological debates, shifts in law and policy, and social and cultural changes around sexuality. It sets out new ways of conceptualizing and researching sexuality and explores persistently marginalised and re-traditionalised sexual practices, subjectivities and identities.
