Summary:

This provocative book examines love as the mediating entity in the essential antagonism between the sexes, and gaze and voice as love's medium. Approaching its topic with utter disregard for predominant multiculturalist and deconstructionist commonplaces, and with insights into the underlying target of racist and sexist violence, this book offers surprising revelations into the nature of an ancient enigma--love.
