About this ebook
How do desire, power, and society shape one another? In this concise, accessible guide, Subrat Gupta offers a clear entry point into the ideas behind “The History of Sexuality,” translating complex themes into practical insights for modern readers. Whether you’re a student of the humanities, a curious general reader, or someone exploring gender, identity, relationships, and culture, this book helps you understand how social institutions influence what people feel, express, and believe about sexuality. Structured for readability, Gupta highlights the historical forces that have shaped attitudes toward sex—from the rise of social norms and moral regulation to the way power operates through language, institutions, and everyday life. You’ll learn how discourse around sexuality can both constrain and create new forms of identity, and how cultural change continues to transform what “normal,” “acceptable,” or “truth” means. Written with an engaging tone and an eye for clarity, this guide emphasizes key concepts, contextual explanations, and modern relevance without sacrificing intellectual depth. By the end, you’ll be better equipped to think critically about sexuality not just as personal experience, but as a social phenomenon intertwined with history, politics, and human meaning. If you want a focused, approachable path into one of the most influential frameworks for understanding desire and power, this book is for you.
