Reviews

This ambitious, fascinating ethnography clearly articulates how sex tourism in Bahia, Brazil, depends on the sexualized and racialized bodies of people of African descent. Erica Lorraine Williams makes a significant contribution by examining how sex tourism is both a racial and sexual project and how race is central to the commodification of culture. --Amalia L. Cabezas, author of Economies of Desire: Sex and Tourism in Cuba and the Dominican Republic
