PRODUCT INFORMATION
Summary
“[American Hookup] conveys exceptionally well the perverse callousness of hookup culture.”— The New York Times
Description
Offering invaluable insights for students, parents, and educators, Lisa Wade analyzes the mixed messages of hookup culture on today's college campuses within the history of sexuality, the evolution of higher education, and the unfinished feminist revolution. She draws on broad, original, insightful research to explore a challenging emotional landscape, full of opportunities for self-definition but also the risks of isolation, unequal pleasure, competition for status, and sexual violence.
Accessible and open-minded, compassionate and honest, American Hookup explains where we are and how we got here, asking, "Where do we go from here?"
Critic Reviews

[American Hookup] conveys exceptionally well the perverse callousness of hookup culture.--Jennifer Senior "New York Times"
