Monica waits in the Anti-Venereal Medical Service of the Zona
Galactica, the legal, state-run brothel where she works in Tuxtla
Gutierrez, Mexico. Surrounded by other sex workers, she clutches
the Sanitary Control Cards that deem her registered with the city,
disease-free, and able to work. On the other side of the world, Min
stands singing karaoke with one of her regular clients, warily
eyeing the door lest a raid by the anti-trafficking Public Security
Bureau disrupt their evening by placing one or both of them in
jail. Whether in Mexico or China, sex work-related public policy
varies considerably from one community to the next. A range of
policies dictate what is permissible, many of them intending to
keep sex workers themselves healthy and free from harm. Yet often,
policies with particular goals end up having completely different
consequences. Policing Pleasure examines cross-cultural public
policies related to sex work, bringing together ethnographic
studies from around the world-from South Africa to India-to offer a
nuanced critique of national and municipal approaches to regulating
sex work. Contributors offer new theoretical and methodological
perspectives that move beyond already well-established debates
between "abolitionists" and "sex workers' rights advocates" to
document both the intention of public policies on sex work and
their actual impact upon those who sell sex, those who buy sex, and
public health more generally.
