Sex Work in Southeast Asia

The Place of Desire in a Time of AIDS

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Southeast Asian sex workers are stereotypically understood as passive victims of the political economy, and submissive to western men. The advent of HIV/AIDS only compounds this image. Sex Work in Southeast Asia is a cultural critique of HIV/AIDS prevention programmes targetting sex tourism industries in Southeast Asia.
