Recenzii
The second edition of Prostitution: Sex Work, Policy and Politics provides a comprehensive account of the current issues surrounding sex work. This edition provides readers with an up to date insight into, not only the problems encompassed for female sex workers but also those for male and transgender workers. The key areas enclosed in this edition include: legality, regulation, research and ethical dilemmas, young people, sex worker’s rights, purchasing sexual services and the globalisation of the sex industry. Expertly created by Teela Sanders, Maggie O’Neill and Jane Pitcher this textbook is essential for any student studying sex work!
A superb introduction to the sociology of prostitution. The book synthesizes the best research on sex workers, their customers, legal issues, youth involvement, migration, and struggles for rights, and shows that prostitution is much more richly variegated than is commonly thought.
Benefitting from their vast collective experience as researchers and advocates for sex workers’ rights, the authors of this text have produced an authoritative, balanced and accessible guide to a topic often shrouded in myth. Avoiding simplistic assertions that all sex work is exploitative, or conversely that prostitution is a job like any other, the book draws on an impressive range of primary sources to describe the complexity and contingency of contemporary sex work. An impressive book, and one that should be appreciated by students and researchers alike for its sympathetic and sensitive handling of its subject matter.
In this 2nd edition of Prostitution, Sanders, O’Neill and Pitcher provide an excellent, comprehensive and updated overview of sex work. These top researchers provide us with an insight into contemporary debates on perspectives of sex work, regulation of sex workers and/or third parties, and how sex work is transforming in an increasingly globalized world. They also draw on their expertise to provide sound advice on methodological approaches to prospective sex work researchers on how to conduct rigorous and ethical research in the field of sex work. This book should be the go-to resource for students and anyone else wanting to broaden their knowledge on sex work.
