Review
I read Between the Body and the Flesh with something like the sense of recognition of having a wish answered. It is a truly important achievement. -- Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, author of Tendencies

Book Description
Focusing on a variety of representations, from the boundary-shattering work of queer performances to the daring conjunction of childhood sexual abuse and desire in the work of Dorothy Allison, Between the Body and the Flesh stimulates discussions of s/m through the exploration of censorship in the arts, the fetishization of sexual paraphernalia, recombinations of class, race and sexuality, and the politics of psychoanalysis.

A true relief...a validating piece of work for new S&Ms, Mar 24 2000
By BJ - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Between the Body and the Flesh: Performing Sadomasochism (Paperback)
Being relatively new to accept the lifestyle, I found Hart's book refreshingly honest and informative. It is a book that a newly-acknowledged submissive can read with her (his) dom/master. While not a psychoanalysis of the lifestyle, and not the authoritzative text to explain the lifestyle to "outsiders" it will certainly be an important work for those of us who have finally admitted our deep and longstanding desires and wish to know more of the details to living out our fantasies in a safe manner. As BDSMers know, the lifestyle is always Consensual and Safe...there's always a way out, so it's NOT abuse. Read this and learn more...
