With Foucault’s history of sexuality, Sexual Conduct is one of the two works of the Seventies that would be recognized for their groundbreaking insight. This new edition will restore to currency a modern classic that opened up the social constructionist approach to the study of sexuality. It should be adopted in courses that did not even exist at the time of its first publication. Outside of the classroom, it should also be of interest to a wide range of professionals, including those in sociology, psychology, psychiatry, social work and medicine, and to the informed general public.
