Compromising Positions is written by Dr. Leslie Dorrough Smith and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0190924098 (ISBN 10) and 9780190924096 (ISBN 13).

Compromising Positions argues that political sex scandals aren't really about sex. Rather, they are a form of cultural theater --moments of highly visible, public storytelling--that use racial and gendered symbols to create a collective sense of national worth and strength. The book shows that Americans condemn or excuse the sexual indiscretions of their politicians depending on the degree to which those politicians reinforce longstanding evangelical symbols associated with "American values" and a "Christian nation."
