Love the Sin : Sexual Regulation and the Limits of Religious Tolerance

If freedom is such an important value in American life, ask Jakobsen (women's studies, Barnard College) and Pellegrini (religious studies and performance studies, New York U.), then why is advocating sexual freedom considered radical, extremist, or even un-American. The main text, published in a 2003 clothbound edition by New York University Press, discusses at length the 1986 Bowers v. Hardwick US Supreme Court ruling; a new preface here adds perspectives from the 2003 Lawrence v. Texas ruling, which reversed it. Annotation 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
