The book delves into the historical emergence of sexuality as a central concept in society, tracing its development since the late nineteenth century. It examines how this notion was shaped by cultural forces and engaged with existing ideas of personal identity. The analysis reveals that the establishment of sexuality's centrality involved displacing various competing discourses, highlighting its complex relationship with race, gender, and other differences. The text argues that this assertion is not merely theoretical, but intertwined with broader societal representations and practices.
