Abstract
To write a book in support of sadomasochism (s/m) is a risky under- taking for a legal academic. To succeed, she must establish scholarly credibility for a cause that has been either ignored or treated with suspicion by most of her colleagues, all the while staying true to the prioritization of sensual pleasure at s/m’s heart. Canadian law and sexuality scholar Ummni Khan rises brilliantly to the challenge in her recently released monograph, Vicarious Kinks: S/M in the Socio-Legal Imaginary.
