Depicted as duplicitous, traitorous, and promiscuous, bisexuality has long been suspected, marginalized, and rejected by both straight and gay communities alike.<br><br><i>Bi</i> 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 &quot;too bisexual&quot; (promiscuous and incapable of fidelity) or &quot;not bisexual enough&quot; (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.<br><br>Informed by feminist, transgender, and queer theory, as well as politics and activism, <i>Bi</i> 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.<br>
