Description: Once again Charles Lemert has revised and updated Social Things. In a new and original chapter, "Global Things Queer the Social," Lemert unblushingly explains that globalization became a dominant force at the very time when ordinary life was threatened by extraordinary human crises of poverty and disease - that the new world forces us to rethink social taboos, including those that talk about sex and sexualities.
