Synopsis
Significant strides have been made in recent years in the movement for LGBTQ+ rights, visibility and empowerment, but the conversation is far from over. After years of feeling the crushing dearth of information on bisexuality, psychological scientist and bestselling author Dr Julia Shaw dug deep and found a colourful and fascinating world that she is bringing out of the shadows. It is a personal journey that starts with her own openly bisexual identity, and celebrates the resilience and beautiful diversity of the bi community.
In Bi: The Hidden Culture, History and Science of Bisexuality, Shaw explores all that we know about the world’s largest sexual minority. From the hunt for a bi gene, to the relationship between bisexuality and consensual non-monogamy, to asylum seekers who need to prove their bisexuality in a court of law, there is more to explore than most have ever realised. This rigorous and fun book will challenge us to think deeper about who we are and how we love.

Un essai bien construit qui verse autant dans la sociologie, la sexologie et l'histoire que dans des témoignages parfois personnels et dans de l'étude culturelle. Le travail de Julia Shaw se base sur des ressources scientifiques et permet de brosser un tableau sérieux et solide de ce que peut être la bisexualité. Assez dense mais très bon si on commence à s'intéresser au sujet !
