Awards

  • Winner of Red Lights 2010

Overview

In China today, sex work cannot be untangled from the phenomenon of ruralurban migration, the entertainment industry, and state power. In Red Lights, Tiantian Zheng highlights the urban karaoke bar as the locus at which these three factors intersect and provides a rich account of the lives of karaoke hostesses-a career whose name disguises the sex work and minimizes the surprising influence these women often have as power brokers.
