הזמנה קבוצתית של הספר החדש שלי :)

[Shiri Eisner]

היי לכולן/ם,

רציתי לספר לכן/ם שהשבוע הספר החדש שלי סוף סוף יוצא בארה"ב. למי שאיכשהו הצליח/ה לפספס את כל הפעמים שדיברתי על זה :) הספר הוא בנושא ביסקסואליות, ושמו Bi: Notes for a Bisexual Revolution. (פרטים נוספים יש למטה).

לכבוד היציאה שלו, אני מארגנת הזמנה קבוצתית של עותקים. עוד לא ידוע לי מה יהיה המחיר המדויק של כל ספר, אבל ההערכה היא שבין 40-50 ש"ח, וכמובן שיהיו גם מחירים דיפרנציאלים למי שלא יכולה לשלם מחיר גבוה. התשלום אלי במזומן, כשתאספו את הספר. (כנראה שיהיה ערב השקה בתל אביב כשכל העותקים יגיעו, ואם לא אז, אפשר גם לתאם איתי אינדיבידואלית).

מי שרוצה להזמין עותק מוזמנת לשלוח לי מייל לכתובת: thewhi...@gmail.com.

תודה! :)
שירי

Subject: Bi: Notes for a Bisexual Revolution - coming out this week

Dear all,

I wanted to tell you about my book, which is coming out this week in the US, Canada and the UK.

Julia Serano says:

“Bi: Notes for a Bisexual Revolution is a brilliant and comprehensive look at where the bisexual movement has been, and where it should head in the future. Rather than merely denying or debunking the countless accusations and stereotypes that plague bisexuality (as many past writers have done), Shiri Eisner exposes the underlying assumptions and misconceptions about sex, gender, and sexuality that give rise to societal monosexism and biphobia. A must read, not only for those of us who fall under the bisexual umbrella, but for feminists, queer and trans activists, and anyone who is concerned with social justice.”

Carol Queen says:

“Political, fresh and fiercely informative, Shiri Eisner’s book helps readers break through the barriers of binary thinking and see gender, attraction, desire and identity in a clear new way that supports action and insight. It’s a must-read for every LGBTQQI scholar and activist, every academic whose work brings them near sex and gender, and of course for every bisexual and lover of bisexuals — especially those who feel “bisexuality” is a too-restictive moniker in these days of gender diversity. This is the bisexuality of the 21st century, the queer omniverse, and of global movements for sexual and gender justice.”

Sue George says:

“Bi: Notes for a Bisexual Revolution is a breath of fresh air. So much of sexual-political activism and writing these days seems to seek acceptance by mainstream society rather than profound change. Bi: Notes for a Bisexual Revolution steps right outside of that. It is far and away the most significant analysis of bisexuality published this century.”

Book description:

Depicted as duplicitous, traitorous, and promiscuous, bisexuality has long been suspected, marginalized, and rejected by both straight and gay communities alike.

Bi takes a long overdue, comprehensive look at bisexual politics—from the issues surrounding biphobia/monosexism, feminism, and transgenderism to the practice of labeling those who identify as bi as either “too bisexual” (promiscuous and incapable of fidelity) or “not bisexual enough” (not actively engaging romantically or sexually with people of at least two different genders). In this forward-thinking and eye-opening book, feminist bisexual and genderqueer activist Shiri Eisner takes readers on a journey through the many aspects of the meanings and politics of bisexuality, specifically highlighting how bisexuality can open up new and exciting ways of challenging social convention.

Informed by feminist, transgender, and queer theory, as well as politics and activism, Bi is a radical manifesto for a group that has been too frequently silenced, erased, and denied—and a starting point from which to launch a bisexual revolution.

I am awfully excited about all this. I want to get the word out, I want for this book to make an actual change and to help people think about bisexuality, politics, identities and intersections. I’d be very very happy if you choose to support my work. Please help me get the word out, so that it can reach far and wide! THANK YOU :)))
