Ethnography and Prostitution in Peru
Search in google:
A lively, hard-hitting feminist study of prostitution within the third world. CHOICE Nencel writes from an explicitly feminist anthropology perspective, with the focus less on a regional-specific ethnography and more on trying to establish a set of patterns for sex workers despite frustration with the subjects' unwillingness to work toward the project's research goals. Two discourses on women-who-prostitute are laid out....Because the author is a post-modernist, she notes that the seemingly ethnographic sections are actually parts of separate conversations from separate incidents, pieced together to weave her argument. Of general interest for a range of social scientists and upper-division undergraduate students and above.
