Few sociological subjects excite so much passion – and fantasies – as prostitution. Relying on a thirty year-long study of the French case, Lilian Mathieu offers an objective and comprehensive account of prostitution realities, first by analyzing the sex market as a social world with its own rules, hierarchies, and vulnerabilities, but also by stressing how prostitutes’ practice and living conditions are framed and shaped by moral campaigns, public controversies, and state policies. By doing so, the book offers a new understanding of how the “deviant” and “normal” worlds interact and transform sexual norms. Prostitutes and Their Rescuers. Sociological dynamics and public controversies in French prostitution is now available in paperback for individual customers.

* How and why do people sell and buy sex? * What are the risks associated with prostitution? * Should prostitution be legalized? This book is the most detailed study ever provided on street prostitution. It is based on three years' research in which the authors interviewed prostitutes and their clients and spent many months working in a red light area. The book makes extensive use of direct quotes from the women and the men, as well as fieldnotes from the authors based upon their observations in the red light area. Topics covered in the book include the women's negotiations with clients, HIV, drug use and violence. The book also describes the impact of working as a prostitute on women's home life. No attempt is made to moralise about prostitution in the book, instead the authors concentrate on the experiences of the women and men involved in selling and buying sex, and describe prostitution from their standpoint. Sex Work on the Streets will be of interest to a wide range of students and researchers in sociology, social policy, criminology and women's studies.

Set in different national contexts (Brazil, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Laos, Norway, Thailand) and in different social science disciplines, the chapters of this volume aim at questioning anti-trafficking policies and their practical impact on sex work regulation. Many actors, from media to researchers, from nonprofit organizations to law enforcement agencies, from "experts" to "reality tourists", contribute to produce knowledge on trafficking and sexual exploitation and thus to institutionalize it as a category of thought and action; by naming and framing perpetrators and victims, they make trafficking "come true" as a public problem. The book pays particular attention to the way the international expertise produced by these different actors and institutions on sexual exploitation and sex work impacts local control practices, especially with regard to law enforcement. The fight against trafficking as it gets institutionalized and put into practice then appears as a way to reaffirm a gendered and racialized public order. Building analytical bridges between different national contexts and relying on contextualized fieldwork in different countries, the book is of great interest for academics as well as for practitioners and/or activists working on sex and gender issues and migration policies. Also, it resonates with a broader literature on the construction of public problems in sociology and political science.

"The controversy waned when the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began to move away from polygamy in the 1890s, but resurfaced with the rise of the anti-Mormon American Party that sponsored the Stockade prostitution district. Nichols traces the interplay of prostitution and reform through World War I, when Mormon and gentile moral codes converged at the expense of prostitutes. He also considers how polygamy and religious conflict distinguished Salt Lake City from other cities struggling to abolish prostitution in the Progressive Era."--Jacket.

Tender Bodies and Whore Stories: an erotic fantasy with a satiric edge set in the world of military prostitution. The safe world of April and Maddy, military wife and daughter, collides with the dangerous, sensual Asian fantasy world of KokoBang, Military Brothel Capital of the planet, a place where vulnerable street waifs and seductive charmers trade sex for survival. Sweet and innocent April knows little of the hidden sexual pleasures available to men such as her soldier husband Jack when he visits military whores. In her protected world, she succumbs to the overwhelmingly handsome Alex while Jack is away. So does the even more sweet and innocent Maddy as this irresistibly charming man seduces both mother and daughter. Meanwhile, Jack's contact with little street whores destined for military service' makes him determined to shield his own soft darlings, April and Maddy, from this harsh side of reality. Tender Bodies is a book that leaves no whore tale untold. And no soldier tale either, for it is also the story of the military men who love the whores from gnarled, tough commandos like Warhorse to Bronze, a young warrior god, to protective rescuers like Jack. In KokoBang, Warhorse and Bronze, his young soldier protégé, take up with a wild hot whore name Cutie-Pie who specializes in gangbangs and a tender, shy one named Golden Lotus Blossom. Back home, they also consort with two stateside prostitutes Trish, a worn-out whore rescued by Warhorse and given a new life and Cindy, a lost sixteen-year-old forced to become a barracks whore due to starvation. Another good-guy soldier, Gerry, patronizes May. She wants him to rescue her from the hard, sex-drenched streets of KokoBang, but he fears that marriage to a whore will damage his military career. Tender Bodies is written from a whore's point of view. This perspective has rarely been attempted before. Previously, the story has always been told from the point of view of the soldier who uses the whore. Achilles takes Trojan captive Briseis as his sex slave. We don't know what she thinks of the arrangement. Soldiers line up to take turns on top of the field whore in Full Metal Jacket. Behind her sunglasses, we cannot see her eyes, as she is serially mounted. We know her only from the crude jokes the men make about her. We know nothing of what she feels as the men climb on top of her. Tender Bodies is written from the whore's point of view because the author worked as a military prostitute. She knows what it feels like to be mounted by a line of soldiers. Novels are impossible to describe since they only exist when you read them. In Tender Bodies memories nest within memories and stories within stories. A sexy centaur; mermaids disappearing in the waves, beneath the book; and fairies who vanish like smoke in the wind, gives this saga of raw sexuality an evanescent quality. Fantasy meets sex and from this emerge the beauty and pain and sadness of the whore life.

This pioneering work examines prostitution in Shanghai from the late nineteenth century to the present. Drawn mostly from the daughters and wives of the working poor and declassé elites, prostitutes in Shanghai were near the bottom of class and gender hierarchies. Yet they were central figures in Shanghai urban life, entering the historical record whenever others wanted to appreciate, castigate, count, regulate, cure, pathologize, warn about, rescue, eliminate, or deploy them as a symbol in a larger social panorama. Over the past century, prostitution has been understood in many ways: as a source of urbanized pleasures, a profession full of unscrupulous and greedy schemers, a changing site of work for women, a source of moral danger and physical disease, a marker of national decay, and a sign of modernity. For the Communist leadership of the 1950s, the elimination of prostitution symbolized China's emergence as a strong, healthy, and modern nation. In the past decade, as prostitution once again has become a recognized feature of Chinese society, it has been incorporated into a larger public discussion about what kind of modernity China should seek and what kind of sex and gender arrangements should characterize that modernity. Prostitutes, like every other non-elite group, did not record their own lives. How can sources generated by intense public argument about the "larger" meanings of prostitution be read for clues to those lives? Hershatter makes use of a broad range of materials: guidebooks to the pleasure quarters, collections of anecdotes about high-class courtesans, tabloid gossip columns, municipal regulations prohibiting street soliciting, police interrogations of streetwalkers and those accused of trafficking in women, newspaper reports on court cases involving both courtesans and streetwalkers, polemics by Chinese and foreign reformers, learned articles by Chinese scholars commenting on the world history of prostitution and analyzing its local causes, surveys by doctors and social workers on sexually transmitted disease in various Shanghai populations, relief agency records, fictionalized accounts of the scams and sufferings of prostitutes, memoirs by former courtesan house patrons, and interviews with former officials and reformers. Although a courtesan may never set pen to paper, we can infer a great deal about her strategizing and working of the system through the vast cautionary literature that tells her customers how not to be defrauded by her. Newspaper accounts of the arrests and brief court testimonies of Shanghai streetwalkers let us glimpse the way that prostitutes positioned themselves to get the most they could from the legal system. Without recourse to direct speech, Hershatter argues, these women have nevertheless left an audible trace. Central to this study is the investigation of how things are known and later remembered, and how, later still, they are simultaneously apprehended and reinvented by the historian.
