Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
For readers of Ace and Belly of the Beast: A Black queer feminist exploration of asexualityand an incisive interrogation of the sexobsessed culture that invisibilizes and ignores asexual and Aspec identity.Everything you know about sex and asexuality is (probably) wrong.The notion that everyone wants sexand that we all have to have itis false. Its intertwined with our ideas about capitalism, race, gender, and queerness. And it impacts the most marginalized among us. For asexual folks, it means that ace and Aspec identity is often defined by a queerness thats not queer enough, seen through a lens of perceived lack: lack of pleasure, connection, joy, maturity, and even humanity.In this exploration of what it means to be Black and asexual in America today, Sherronda J. Brown offers new perspectives on asexuality. She takes an incisive look at how antiBlackness, white supremacy, patriarchy, heteronormativity, and capitalism enact harm against asexual people, contextualizing acephobia within a racial framework in the first book of its kind. Brown advocates for the A in LGBTQIA+, affirming that to be asexual is to be queerdespite the gatekeeping and denial that often says otherwise.With chapters on desire, f*ckability, utility, refusal, and possibilities, Refusing Compulsory Sexuality discusses topics of deep relevance to ace and aspec communities. It centers the Black asexual experienceand demands visibility in a world that pathologizes and denies asexuality, denigrates queerness, and specifically sexualizes Black people.A necessary and unapologetic reclamation, Refusing Compulsory Sexuality is smart, timely, and an essential read for asexuals, aromantics, queer readers, and anyone looking to better understand sexual politics in America.
