Porno? Chic!

<p><em>Porno? Chic!</em> examines the relationship between the proliferation of pornography and sexualised culture in the West and social and cultural trends which have advanced the rights of women and homosexuals.</p><p>Brian McNair addresses this relationship with an analysis of trends in sexualised culture since 2002 linked to a transnational analysis of change in sexual politics and sex/gender relations in a range of societies from the sexually liberalised societies of advanced capitalism to those in which women and homosexuals remain tightly controlled by authoritarian patriarchal regimes. </p><p>In this accessible jargon-free book Brian McNair examines why those societies in which sexualised culture is the most liberalised and pervasive are also those in which the socio-economic and political rights of women and homosexuals have advanced the most. </p>
