From Library Journal
This book consists of a series of 14 papers originally presented as a lecture series at the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. The papers are loosely centered around a discussion of Michel Foucault's three-volume History of Sexuality ( LJ 10/15/78; LJ 12/85; LJ 1/87), with topics ranging from a discussion of the ancient Greek view of women's sexuality to an attack on the mainstream media's presentation of people with AIDS. The authors are active in the humanities; hence, their concerns and methodologies are quite different from those of social scientists. In general, this title is designed for academic libraries. Collectors in the humanities section should check the circulation of their copy of the Foucault title; if it has been used heavily, then there may be an audience for this title as well.
