A Surgical Temptation : The Demonization of the Foreskin and the Rise of Circumcision in Britain (Hardcover) Robert Darby In the eighteenth century, the Western world viewed circumcision as an embarrassing disfigurement peculiar to Jews. A century later, British doctors urged parents to circumcise their sons as a routine precaution against every imaginable sexual dysfunction, from syphilis and phimosis to masturbation and bed-wetting. Thirty years later the procedure again came under hostile scrutiny, culminating in its disappearance during the 1960s.

Marked in the Flesh Leonard B. Glick This book presents a history of Jewish and Christian beliefs about circumcision from its ancient origins to the current controversy. By the turn of the century, more and more physicians in America and England--but not, interestingly, in continental Europe--were performing the procedure routinely. Glick shows that Jewish American physicians were and continue to be especially vocal and influential champions of the practice which, he notes, serves to erase the visible difference between Jewish and gentile males. Informed medical opinion is now unanimous that circumcision confers no benefit and the practice has declined. In Jewish circles it is virtually taboo to question circumcision, but Glick does not flinch from asking whether this procedure should continue to be the defining feature of modern Jewish identity.

As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised As a Girl John Colapinto Journalist John Colapinto investigates the tragic case of David Reimer. When Mr. Reimer was a child his botched circumcision led to subsequent castration and gender re-assignment. Mr. Reimer rebelled and reasserted his male identity. This book corrected sexologist Dr. John Money's famous 'Bruce/Brenda' sexual reassignment case of 1965. The medical literature had incorrectly recorded the gender reassignment was a sucess and concluded 'Brenda' was living a happy life. By speaking out with this book and appearances in the American and Canadian national media, including the Oprah Winfrey Show, Mr. Reimer told the truth of his story. Sadly, since this book was published, David Reimer took his own life in 2004. Buy 'As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised As a Girl' at amazon.com

Circumcision the Hidden Trauma: How an American Cultural Practice Affects Infants and Ultimately Us All Ronald Goldman Ph.D. This book addresses two main questions: (a) Why are circumcisions really being done? and (b) What effect does circumcision have on us? Since circumcision touches on so many aspects of life-physical, sexual, psychological, social, historical, and religious, to name a few-many find learning about the practice both engaging and challenging. Indeed, examining the subject of circumcision is a surprisingly rewarding path to learning more about ourselves. If this book challenges any of your most firmly held assumptions and beliefs about circumcision and society, I urge you to allow yourself to question them.
