This path-breaking book examines the lives of five topless dancers
in the economically devastated "rust belt" of upstate New York.
With insight and empathy, Susan Dewey shows how these women
negotiate their lives as parents, employees, and family members
while working in a profession widely regarded as incompatible with
motherhood and fidelity. Neither disparaging nor romanticizing her
subjects, Dewey investigates the complicated dynamic of
performance, resilience, economic need, and emotional vulnerability
that comprises the life of a stripper. An accessibly written text
that uses academic theories and methods to make sense of feminized
labor, "Neon Wasteland" shows that sex work is part of the learned
process by which some women come to believe that their self-esteem,
material worth, and possibilities for life improvement are invested
in their bodies.
