Both in style and in content, it is conceived as a book that aims to question, subvert and overflow authoritarian divisions between the personal and poli- tical; between sexual desires categorised as heterosexual or homosexual; betweenseeminglymutuallyexclusiveactivismandscholarship;betweenforms of expression such as poetry and prose; and between disciplinary categories of knowledge. Anarchism & Sexuality seeks to achieve this by suggesting connections between ethics, relationships and power, three themes that run throughout the book. The key objectives of the volume are: to bring fresh anarchist perspec- tives to debates around sexuality; to make a queer and feminist intervention within the most recent wave of anarchist scholarship; and to make a queerly anarchist contribution to socialjustice literature, policy and practice.By ming- ling prose and poetry, theory and autobiography, it constitutes a gathering place to explore the interplay between sexual and social transformation.

Jamie Heckert is a founding member of the Anarchist Studies Network. His writing on identity, ethics, non-monogamy, postanarchism and ecology has appeared in a variety of activist and scholarly publications. Richard Cleminson is Reader in the History of Sexuality at the University of Leeds and Associate Editor of Anarchist Studies. His research centres on the history of sexuality in Spain and he has published on anarchism and sexuality, the history of male homosexuality and hermaphroditism.

The series addresses a range of contexts from transnational political fora, to nation-state and regional controversies, to small-scale social experiments. At its heart is a concern, and inter-disciplinary engagement, with the present and future politics of power, as constituted through territory, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, economics, ecology and culture. Forgoing struggle, imagined alternatives and the embedding of new norms, Social Justice critically explores how change is wrought through law, govern- ance and institutionalism, everyday social and bodily practices, dissident knowledges,andmovementsforcitizenship,belongingandreinventedcommunity.
