Virgin Nation: Exploring the Sexual Politics of American Adolescence
Virgin Nation: Sexual Politics and American Adolescence is an eye-opening and thought-provoking exploration of the sexual landscape of American adolescents today. Written by Sarah S. Matthew, this engaging book provides a comprehensive look at the complex web of social, political, legal, and cultural forces that shape young people’s experiences of sexuality in America. With interviews with teens and adults, and an analysis of case studies, Virgin Nation draws on both personal stories and academic research to explore topics such as abstinence-only education, LGBTQ rights, consent, reproductive justice, and more. By examining these issues through a lens of intersectional feminism, this book offers invaluable insight into the current state of adolescent sexual politics in America today.
