Description

This volume sheds light on one of the most explosive episodes of censure of academic scholarship in recent decades.

Bruce Rind, a former psychology professor at Temple University, investigated sexual relations between male adults and adolescents through history and across cultures, from highly institutionalized relationships in Ancient Greece and Rome, to 33 contemporary cultures including the USA, and among various species.

His conclusions that these relations, when consensual, are not always negative was radical, but based in his research findings.

Even before publication of an invited article on the topic, he was subjected to intensive attacks, censured, and censored.

This book presents a substantially extended version of Rind’s original, unpublished article, plus 12 scholarly responses to his work that argue for or against Rind’s conclusions or offer useful context on his work.

For anyone interested in sex research and the academic freedom issues surrounding it, whether supportive of or vehemently opposed to Rind’s ideas, this book is a must-read.
