Autor John D'Emilio, Estelle B. Freedman

A groundbreaking history of American sexuality that Barbara Ehrenreich calls "fascinating"!

As the first full-length study of the history of sexuality in America, Intimate Matters offered trenchant insights into the sexual behavior of Americans from colonial times to the present. In this fully up-to-date edition of the classic work, John D’Emilio and Estelle B. Freedman give us an even deeper understanding of how sexuality has dramatically influenced politics and culture throughout our history and into the present.
 
Hailed by critics for its comprehensive approach and cited by the US Supreme Court in the landmark Lawrence v. Texas ruling, Intimate Matters is a landmark work, offering readers insight into changes in sexuality and the ongoing growth of individual freedoms in the United States through meticulous research and lucid prose.

Recenzii

“Fascinating. . . . D’Emilio and Freedman marshal their material to chart a gradual but decisive shift in the way Americans have understood sex and its meaning in their lives.”

“Intimate Matters, was cited by Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy when, writing for a majority of court on July 26, he and his colleagues struck down a Texas law criminalizing sodomy. The decision was widely hailed as a victory for gay rights—and it derived in part, according to Kennedy’s written comments, from the information he gleaned from this book.”

"This book is remarkable. . . . Intimate Matters is bound to become the definitive survey of American sexual history for years to come."

“With comprehensiveness and care . . . D’Emilio and Freedman have surveyed the sexual patterns for an entire nation across four centuries.”
