Backstreets: Prostitution, Money, and Love

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (10144 ratings)

Description:Backstreets is about prostitution. It allows the individuals who participate in it - prostitutes, pimps, and those who buy sexual services - to tell their own stories in their own words. Women, for example, explain why they become prostitutes and how they experience the daily sequence of "tricks." Men discuss why they become customers of prostitutes and what they get out of the experience. Pimps describe how they see themselves and the prostitutes upon whom they depend. Cecilie Hoigard and Liv Finstad, sociologists from Norway, have studied the prostitution market of Oslo for over ten years. Their research has involved extensive interviews with participants, observation of Oslo's prostitution district, personal interaction with prostitute women, and analysis of city police records. Consequently, they are able to reveal the world of prostitution in its routine, everyday reality - not an exotic world far removed from the lives of ordinary people, but a world which lies at the center of our cities and societies. Drawing from their own research, the authors consider a range of theories about prostitution and its role in society. They avoid, however, simple answers, arguing that the causes and effects of prostitution are complex. They maintain that prostitution is embedded in the gender relations of an economically stratified society and that those who experience prostitution over an extended period of time suffer deep emotional damage.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
