Bisexual Men in Culture and Society

Rating:
Summary: Really a book for academics and independent film buffs
Review: Five articles in this book proport to examine bisexual men in American culture and society. However, the majority of the books and films examined are not mainstream so really the essays can only be fully appreciated and understood by a small audience. Likewise, far too much time is really spent looking at bisexual women to justify the title "Bisexual Men". Only the last essay by Marshall Miller, "Ethically Questionable?': Popular Media Reports of Bisexual Men and AIDS" is truly accessible to most people and it does a great job of discussing cultural preceptions of bisexual men. What would be wonderful is a book that actually examined the mainstream of American culture and society.
