Bisexuality in the Lives of Men: Facts and Fictions

Rating:
Summary: Really good subject, a little rough in some spots...
Review: Where are the bisexual men? Why are bisexual activist usually women? If the whole world thinks bisexual men are the ones guilty of spreading AIDS to "innocent" straight women, then why are they so invisible? These are some of the questions that this anthology attempts to answer. A big and important question they pose is the following: "too often writing lumps gay and bisexual men together, so how do bisexual men differ from gay men?" The editors specifically state that they would like readers to read this book next to/along with their other book "Bisexual Men in Culture and Society." This book is the academic-scientific book compared to its more pop culture, literary companion. As much as this book complains of women dominating the bisexual rights movement, with few exceptions, the articles in this book are written by women. This book cites the stats that say Black and Latino men exhibit higher rates of bisexual behavior than white men; this book does a good job in trying to be racially-diverse. The worst article is by Paula Rust. I was so disappointed by this entry when her book "The Bisexual Challenge to Lesbian Politics" was so excellent. Finally, the cover of the book is cheap and tacky. I am glad I bought the book, but then again I'm fascinated by the subject.
