商品簡介
Explores the socio-structural-symbolic conditions which help to maintain women within "bread and butter" prostitution (as vs. high-class and drug-related work, if they can be so neatly separated). Phoenix (criminology, Middlesex U., London) deconstructs the life narratives of 21 prostitutes as enclosed within the law and academic models, and as disclosed through interviews relating the typical constellation of risk, poverty, "poncing" (pimping), violence, and a specific prostitute identity as commodified bodies, businesswomen, and victims/survivors.
