Overview"Since the early 1980s, a student movement has emerged from the belief that sexual violence is neither inherent not inevitable. ""Just Sex"" chronicles the move to bring an end to all forms of sexual violence and to mould a new sexual paradigm where explicitly consensual sex and sexual autonomy are the norm. Based on ten years of collaborative research and national organizing, Gold and Villari have compiled the writings of leading student activists and young scholars wrestling with complex issues of power inequities, free speech and societal constructions of gender and sexuality in accessible and mainstream dialogues. The authors also examine the generationally specific style of student activism which emphasizes peer education and institutional collaboration. ""Just Sex"" - the first ever gathering of primary documents including university policies, personal testimonies, position papers and scholarly essays - offers a glimpse of the ""working papers"" of a student movement which has altered the sexual landscape of our campuses and communities forever."

Just Sex goes right to the heart of what differentiates sex from rape, what differentiates a human engaging in sex from an object used for sexual release; what makes sex intimate instead of annihilating. This is a book my generation of feminists (who were, before that, sexual liberationists) could not have imagined, because this current generation of assault-and-rape prevention advocates are engaged in the process of making both sex and intimacy a whole-body, whole-mind experience.--Dworkin, Andrea Just Sex is the long overdue counterweight to post-feminism invective, an archive for the as yet unwritten history of the feminism movement to end sexual violence. Just Sex offers a much-needed counter-history to reports of the death of feminism. These essays proclaim that feminist activism is very much alive. Just Sex is an exceptionally useful student handbook, and a tool for making 'just sex' possible, on college campuses and in the world beyond them. -- Lisa Marcus The Women's Review Of Books, Vol. Xvii, No.7, April 2000 This book represents the work and thought of a series of college generations for whom stopping rape has the same import that ending legal race-based segregation and stopping the Vietnam War had on college campuses in the sixties ...
