Popular wisdom might suggest that jealousy is an inevitable outcome of non-monogamous relationships. In Love\u2019s Refraction, Jillian Deri explores the distinctive question of how and why polyamorists \u2013 people who practice consensual non-monogamy \u2013 manage jealousy. Her focus is on the polyamorist concept of \u201ccompersion\u201d \u2013 taking pleasure in a lover\u2019s other romantic and sexual encounters.By discussing the experiences of queer, lesbian, and bisexual polyamorous women, Deri highlights the social and structural context that surrounds jealousy. Her analysis, making use of the sociology of emotion and feminist intersectionality theory, shows how polyamory challenges traditional emotional and sexual norms.Clear and concise, Love\u2019s Refraction speaks to both the academic and the polyamorous community. Deri lets her interviewees speak for themselves, linking academic theory and personal experiences in a sophisticated, engaging, and accessible way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
