• Unsubmissive Women: Chinese Prostitutes in Nineteenth-Century San Francisco

    Tong (US history, U. of Toledo) explores the lives of Chinese prostitutes in the Gold Rush West. From 1849 to 1882, the year of the Chinese Exclusion Act, federal, state, and local governments pushed Chinese prostitutes to the fringes of society. Tong uses census schedules, records of missionary organizations, government documents, and narratives by the women themselves to demonstrate that the Chinese public women adapted to their new environment. Includes b&w photos and census tables. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

  • Paying for Pleasure

    Drawing on original empirical data with men who buy sex, this book takes a fresh look at the relationships clients have with female sex workers. The core questions that form the backbone of the research are not only the expected inquiry into 'why men buy sex', but also into the sociological and psychological processes that men encounter in order to enter an assumed 'deviant' sexual behaviour as part of their everyday lives. These sociological processes of finding, negotiating and buying sexual services are complicated by the stigma directed towards men who buy sex. Exactly how do men behave wi... [Read More]
