You're invited to the launch of American Taboo by Lauren Rosewarne at Readings, Carlton on November 12, 2013. Professor Rob Brooks - author of Sex, Genes & Rock 'n' Roll - and Dean Beck from Joy FM will be speaking.

"Rosewarne speaks the unspeakable in this engaging book about everything you ever wanted to know about bodies but were too shy to ask. Offering hundreds of rich examples of popular culture's representations of taboos, she argues convincingly that the way in which cinema, television, and music present controversial subjects is not homogenous but deeply cultural, political, sexual and gendered" - Robyn Longhurst, author of Maternities: Gender, Bodies and Space.
