Selling Sex in the City offers a worldwide analysis of prostitution
that takes a long historical approach which covers a time period
from 1600 to the 2000s. The overviews in this volume examine sex
work in more than twenty notorious "sin cities" around the world,
ranging from Sydney to Singapore and from Casablanca to Chicago.
Situated within a comparative framework of local developments, the
book takes up themes such as labour relations, coercion, agency,
gender, and living and working conditions. Selling Sex in the City
thus reveals how prostitution and societal reactions to the trade
have been influenced by colonization, industrialization,
urbanization, the rise of nation states, imperialism, and war, as
well as by revolutions in politics, transport, and communication.
