What is sex exactly? Does everyone agree on a definition? And does that definition hold when considering literary production in other times and places? "Sex before Sex" makes clear that we cannot simply transfer our contemporary notions of what constitutes a sex act into the past and expect them to be true for the people who were then reading literature and watching plays
The contributors confront how our current critical assumptions about definitions of sex restrict our understanding of representations of sexuality in early modern England
Drawing attention to overlooked forms of sexual activity in early modern culture, from anilingus and interspecies sex to "chin-chucking" and convivial drinking, "Sex before Sex" offers a multifaceted view of what sex looked like before the term entered history
Through incisive interpretations of a wide range of literary texts, including "Romeo and Juliet, The Comedy of Errors, Paradise Lost," the figure of Lucretia, and pornographic poetry, this collection queries what might constitute sex in the absence of a widely accepted definition and how a historicized concept of sex affects the kinds of arguments that can be made about early modern sexualities

Slavery Inc.: The Untold Story of International Sex Trafficking
Illegal, inhuman, and impervious to recession, there is one trade that continues to thrive, just out of sight
The international sex trade criss-crosses the entire globe, a sinister network made up of criminal masterminds, local handlers, corrupt policemen, willfully blind politicians, eager consumers, and countless hapless women and children
In this ground-breaking work of investigative reporting, the celebrated journalist Lydia Cacho follows the trail of the traffickers and their victims from Mexico to Turkey, Thailand to Iraq, Georgia to the UK, to expose the trade's hidden links with the tourist industry, internet pornography, drugs and arms smuggling, the selling of body organs, money laundering, and even terrorism
This is an underground economy in which a sex slave can be bought for the price of a gun, but Cacho's powerful first-person interviews with mafiosi, pimps, prostitutes, and those who managed to escape from captivity makes it impossible to ignore the terrible human cost of this lucrative exchange
Shocking and sobering, "Slavery Inc," is an exceptional book, both for the colossal scope of its enquiry, and for the tenacious bravery with which Cacho pursues the truth.
