"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."--Publisher's website.… (plus d'informations)

I must start by saying that it’s so freeing to read a book on queer issues without having to strain myself waiting for a mention of bisexuality and praying that any mention won’t be steeped in biphobia and/or monosexism. Eisner does a phenomenal job describing the state of bisexuality in minority-world (i.e. “Western”) culture, how this affects bisexuals, how this influences the way people interact with us, and how we can use the space bisexuality inhabits in society to subvert oppression in multiple forms. While her politics may be too radical for some, Eisner presents insights into hegemonic structures that we all would benefit from recognizing. This book has completely changed the way I look at the world, and I highly recommend it to everyone. ( )

Bi: Notes for a Bisexual Revolution provides insight into contemporary issues for Bisexuals, including feminism and women's issues, and questions of intersectionality with race and ethnicity. There are many good points, including discussions of biphobia, sexualization and fetishization of Bi women, and the question of straight-passing privilege. However, the book also contains some notable weaknesses. The author quotes various works, but does not provide citations for the reader to consult, lowering the quality of this work in the process. Furthermore, although the author refers to their theory as being radical and revolutionary, she does not question all established neoliberal conceptions and institutions, only lightly touching upon Marxist perspectives when challenging the military industrial complex.

A must-read for all bisexual people. An education for all monosexual people.

Bi: frames bisexuality in the context of modern attitudes to gender and sexuality, and challenges the preconceptions and prejudice against this misunderstood sexual orientation.

Shiri Eisner writes clearly and coherently, explaining more complex terms in ways that laypeople can understand. Eisner examines in intersections of biphobia and other isms with clarity and compassion.

I wish there was a little more about the way that biphobia and hatred of mental illness combines, but there's only so much room in any book. ( )
