Read for one of my college history classes...much like Superfreakonomics, this had more about prostitution (and other personal subjects) than I ever actually wanted to know. But it's interesting to learn how attitudes towards sex in antebellum America shaped the attitudes people in America have about sex today. Horowitz organizes the information in the book in a clear matter that made it quick and easy to read, even if it is an awkward subject for most people. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The public discussion of sexuality in America first came about in the 1820s. Predictably, Americans diverged considerably on how to approach the controversial topic. Folk wisdom, current scientific beliefs, and the teachings of evangelical Christianity all shaped the antebellum conversation about the moral, social and physical implications of sex. In her introduction, Professor Horowitz takes American sexual history beyond the boundaries of the twentieth century and elucidates the complex issues surrounding nineteenth-century debates and dialogue. Helpful headnotes contextualize this colorful selection of hard-to-find documents, which includes medical articles, religious pamphlets, advertisements and propaganda, and popular literature. Contemporary illustrations, a chronology, and a bibliography foster students understanding of antebellum sexual knowledge. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
