This volume investigates the complex social, political, and theoretical constructions of bisexuality within contemporary discourse. Merl Storr, a scholar in the field of gender and sexuality, compiles a range of academic perspectives to challenge the binary frameworks that often marginalize bisexual identities. The book serves as a critical examination of how bisexuality is defined, contested, and understood across various cultural and historical contexts.

Scholars and students of gender studies frequently cite this work as a foundational text for understanding the theoretical nuances of bisexual identity. Readers often note the academic density of the prose, which is designed for those already familiar with critical theory and sociological discourse.
