'Rich and original . . . this is a major contribution to Scottish history. It also provides indispensable insights into the complexities of British and European sexual history.'
Jeffrey Weeks, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, London South Bank University
'Brings considerable nuance and regional comparative element to the contemporary history of sexuality in Britain ... should be valued by all working in this field.' Sean Brady, Social History of Medicine
How progressive was Scotland in response to sexual issues in the period 1950 to 1980, when British society witnessed a revolution in sexual attitudes and behaviour?
This important book fills a gap in the study of modern Scottish, and British, society, providing as it does a vital perspective on Scotland's sexual history from the post-war period through the sexual upheaval of the 1960s to the era of HIV/AIDS.
Davidson and Davis lead us through the Scottish sexual landscape, analyzing state policy towards issues such as abortion, family planning, homosexuality, pornography, prostitution, sex education and sexual heath. Policy makers, social historians, teachers and students alike will find this an invaluable resource for an understanding of sexuality and policy making in modern society.
