Reviews
This third edition is as important as the first but expands the reach of markets and sex workers included in the collection. This is an exciting, broad and highly relevant book which is an excellent introduction for students and equally insightful on the complexities of niche sex work communities and experiences for researchers alike. The expanse of topics demonstrates how new studies and reflections on existing knowledge make such an edited book essential reading across disciplines and scholarly boundaries. Teela Sanders, Professor of Criminology, University of Leicester This third edition of Sex for Sale: Prostitution, Pornography, and Erotic Dancing provides new and updated studies of the diverse dimensions of sex commerce around the world today. Endorsing a polymorphous paradigm to develop a deep understanding of the organization of sex work at the macro level and its everyday reality for people in sex work, Weitzer's edited book is a ground-breaking addition to the interdisciplinary scholarship linking sexuality, work and politics. Cecilia Benoit, University of Victoria, Canada Eminently teachable and readable, this new edition of Sex for Sale is packed with up-to-date studies mapping the many territories of a fast-changing industry. Especially welcome is the attention to massage parlors staffed by Asian-American women and migrants, shifting trends in pornography from the perspectives of performers and producers, and strip clubs with male dancers in both straight and gay venues. In this third edition, Weitzer has recruited skilled researchers and writers, providing a useful scholarly resource that will also fill many days of classroom discussions. Gregory Mitchell, Associate Professor of Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies, Williams College
