Why is bisexuality the object of skepticism? Why do sexologists steer clear of it
in their research? Why has bisexuality, in stark contrast to homosexuality, only recently
emerged as a nascent political and cultural identity? Bisexuality has been regarded
as mostly irrelevant to the history, theory, and politics of sexuality. Angelides
explores the reasons why, and invites us to rethink our preconceptions about sexual
identity. Retracing the evolution of sexology, and revisiting modern epistemological
categories of sexuality in psychoanalysis, gay liberation, social constructionism,
queer theory, biology, and human genetics, Angelides argues that bisexuality has historically
functioned as the structural other to sexual identity itself, undermining assumptions
about both heterosexuality and homosexuality.--From publisher description
