In the second edition of this remarkable and comprehensive anthology, many of Canada's leading sexuality studies scholars examine the fundamental role that sexuality has played—and continues to play—in the building of our nation, and in our national narratives, myths, and anxieties about Canadian identity. Thoroughly updated, this new edition reflects a strong emphasis on queer Indigenous experiences and features twenty-seven new chapters on topics including sex work, Blackness, masculinity, queer organizing, recognition of sexual diversity in schools, and multicultural identities. Covering both historical and contemporary perspectives on nation and community, law and criminal justice, organizing and resistance, health and medicine, education, marriage and family, sport, and popular culture and representation, the essays also take a strong intersectional approach, integrating analyses of race, class, and gender. This interdisciplinary collection is essential for the Canadian sexuality studies classroom, and for anyone interested in the mythologies and realities of queer life in Canada.
