Towards a Southern Approach to Sex Work: Lived Experience and Resilience in a Bangladeshi Brothel: Routledge Studies in Crime and Justice in Asia and the Global South
Autor Habiba Sultanaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2022
Towards a Southern Approach to Sex Work contributes to feminist scholarship on sex work, by offering a much needed southern perspective, drawing on culturally specific data. It argues that the lived experience of sex workers comprises both victimhood and agency, deception and resilience, and that it is the management of these relationships that enable sex works to avoid social marginalization and alienation.
An accessible and compelling read, this will appeal to students and scholars of criminology, sociology, gender studies, south Asian studies, cultural studies, social theory and policy makers. In addition, it will engage all those interested in learning more about how the sex trade operates in Bangladesh.
