| Sumario: | The author deftly shows how sex work has transformed over the years by connecting it to the historicisation of sex work discussed in Section Two: 'the message is that the client is the new age nawab and she is the new age courtesan'. Over the years, considerable knowledge has been produced in the discipline of gender studies on sex work - mapping its histories, various practices, and forms. By taking the middle ground and looking beyond the sex work as labour versus prostitution as violence approach, the author has expanded the discourse. |
