The Bisexuality Wars:

The Perils of Identity as Marginality

From: In a Queer Country

$0.42

Zoe Newman’s ‘The Bisexuality Wars: The Perils of Identity as Marginality" looks at differing views of sexual orientation, in particular the role of self-identified bisexuals in lesbian organizations, and how they might be compared to similar views of ethnicity, in this case the polarized interpretation of Jews, on the one side as a victim of discrimination and on the other as part of "white" hegemony.
