Using plausible-sounding but factually untrue arguments about the harmful effects of strip clubs on their communities, the Christian Right has stoked public outrage and incited local and state governments to impose onerous restrictions on the clubs with the intent of dismantling the exotic dance industry. But an even larger agenda is at work, according to Judith Lynne Hanna. In Naked Truth, she builds a convincing case that the attack on exotic dance is part of the activist Christian Right?s ?grand design? to supplant constitutional democracy in America with a Bible-based theocracy. Hanna takes readers onstage, backstage, and into the community and courts to reveal the conflicts, charges, and realities that are playing out at the intersection of erotic fantasy, religion, politics, and law. She explains why exotic dance is a legitimate form of artistic communication and debunks the many myths and untruths that the Christian Right uses to fight strip clubs. Hanna also demonstrates that while the fight happens at the local level, it is part of a national campaign to regulate sexuality and punish those who do not adhere to Scripture-based moral values. Ultimately, she argues, the naked truth is that the separation of church and state is under siege and our civil liberties?free speech, women?s rights, and free enterprise?are at stake. 606 $aStriptease$zUnited States 606 $aStriptease$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aStripteasers$zUnited States 606 $aSex in dance$zUnited States 606 $aChristianity and politics$zUnited States 606 $aDance$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aStriptease 615 0$aStriptease$xSocial aspects 615 0$aStripteasers 615 0$aSex in dance 615 0$aChristianity and politics 615 0$aDance$xPolitical aspects. 676 $a792.7/8 700 $aHanna$b Judith Lynne$0628648 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788386903321 996 $aNaked truth$93839581 997 $aUNINA
