520 $aAlthough America is not alone in its ambivalence toward sex and its depictions, the preferences of the nation swing sharply between toleration and censure. This pattern has grown even more pronounced since the 1960's, with the emergence of the New Right and its attack on the "floodtide of filth" that was supposedly sweeping the nation. Antipornography campaigns became the New Right's political capital in the 1960's, laying the groundwork for the "family values" agenda that shifted the country to the right. --
520 $aPerversion for Profit traces the anatomy of this trend and the crucial function of pornography in constructing the New Right's agenda, which has emphasized social issues. Whitney Strub vividly re-creates the debates over obscenity that consumed members of the ACLU in the 1950's and revisits the deployment of obscenity charges against purveyors of gay erotica during the cold war, revealing the differing standards applied to heterosexual and homosexual pornography. He follows the rise of the influential Citizens for Decent Literature during the 1960's and the pivotal events that followed: the sexual revolution, feminist activism, the rise of the gay rights movement, the "porno chic" moment of the early 1910's, and resurgent Christian conservatism, which now shapes public policy far beyond the issue of sexual decency. --Book Jacket.
