The 33 contributors develop a multifaceted approach to defining bisexual politics. The authors analyze different organizing strategies, formulate new bisexual political theory, provide a vision of future directions for redefining sexuality and gender, and educate activists and allies about current issues pertaining to the bisexual community.

``This brilliant new anthology is sure to become a classic text, since it contains so much of value. It includes the beginnings of a history of the bisexual movement and communities, a plethora of challenges to "identity politics," presentations of the case for coalition building as well as arguments in favor of a separate bi movement, and visionary voices from the many diverse elements of the bisexual spectrum. Readers of all sexual orientations will find much within these pages to spark debate, recogniton, and radicalization. The issues raised by these passionate voices have implications far beyond more limited concerns like whether or not to include "bisexual" in the title of an organization or an event. This is the next generation. Ignore them at your peril!''

-- Pat Califia, author "Public Sex: The Cultural of Radical Sex."

``This anthology is crucial reading for anyone trying to make sense of shifting definitions of sexuality and politics in a postmodern age...The authors, a collection of some of the most influential bisexual activists, historians, and theorists of our time, simultaneously contextualize and deconstruct (often blurring) current notions of gender, sexual orientation, and identity politics. Historically grounded, the essays collectively inform, liberate, enlighten, excite, challenge -- some even shock and upset.''
