Reviews

<p>Hard-hitting in its analysis, ethical and nuanced in its use of interview material, Sex Workers in the Maritimes Talk Back is an excellent book. Finally, there's a study of prostitution in the Maritimes, which also contributes to and extends the global dialogue. A truly engaging read.? Shannon Bell, author of, Reading, Writing, and Rewriting the Prostitute BodyThis sensitive and perceptive book provides a much needed antidote to the many myths and misconceptions around the sex industry and its workers. The workers emerge as neither victims nor heroes, but as engaged and insightful social actors. Sex Workers in the Maritimes Talk Back is not only highly original, but a timely and important contribution to the literature. The authors have listened to what workers in the sex industry have to say, and bring their vital voices into the discourse.? Christine Bruckert, author of, Taking It Off, Putting It On: Women Working in the Strip Trade
