These changes are firmly located in the wider context of British social, political and cultural life, from industrialization, urbanisation and the impact of Empire and colonisation, through the experience of economic disruption, World Wars, the establishment of the welfare state, changing patterns of gender and the emergence of new sexual identities. This book also charts the rise of both progressive and conservative social movements, including feminism, LGBT activism, and fundamentalist movements. It is a history where the past continues to live in the present, and where the present provides ever more complex, and often controversial patterns of sexual life, with sexual and gender issues at the heart of contemporary politics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow fully revised and updated, this edition examines key new developments including: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe impact of globalisation, and the digital revolution;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003egender nonconformity and the rise of transgender consciousness;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eshifting family and relational patterns, and new forms of intimacy;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003echanges in reproductive technology including the debates on IVF and surrogacy; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003enew discourses of equality and sexual rights for LGBT people;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe irresistible rise of same-sex marriage; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe weakening of the heterosexual\/ homosexual binary divide and the development of new lines of concern and divisions in the politics of sexuality.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining rich empirical detail with innovative theoretical insights, \u003ci\u003eSex, Politics and Society\u003c\/i\u003e remains at the cutting edge of the subject, and this fourth edition will inspire and provoke a whole new generation of readers in history, sociology, social policy and critical sexuality studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJeffrey Weeks \u003c\/strong\u003eis Emeritus Professor of Sociology at London South Bank University, UK.
