Exploring cultural transformations of intimacy in contemporary
Mexico, Intimacies and Cultural Change examines the ways in which
globalization and rapid cultural change have transformed the
cultural meanings of couple relationships, sexuality, and personal
life in Mexican society. Through a range of contemporary case
studies, the book sheds light on the ways in which people draw on
these cultural meanings in everyday life to account for their
experiences and practices of intimacy in different social settings.
An interdisciplinary volume, presenting the latest research on the
region from experts working in diverse fields within the social
sciences, this book will appeal to scholars of sociology,
anthropology, geography and social psychology with interests in
gender and sexuality, social change and contemporary intimate
relationships.

This book is part of a two volume set that examines prostitution
and sex trafficking on a global scale, with each chapter devoted to
a particular country in one of seven "geo-cultural" areas of the
world. The 18 chapters in this volume (Volume I) are devoted to
examination of the commercial sex industry (CSI) in countries
within Africa, Asia, Middle East, and Oceania, while the 16
chapters that comprise Volume II focus exclusively on Europe, Latin
America, and North America. Volume II also includes a "global"
section, which includes chapters that are globally relevant -
rather than those devoted to a particular country or geographic
location. The content of each volume, as well as each chapter,
reflects great diversity - diversity in focus, writing style, and
personal position regarding the commercial sex industry. Diversity
extends to the contributors, who are comprised of international
scholars, service providers, and policy advocates representing a
variety of fields and disciplines, with distinct and varied frames
of reference and theoretical underpinnings with regard to the
commercial sex industry. In addition to addressing aspects of the
CSI across the globe, as impacted by geography and culture, authors
have also provided a spectrum of implications of their work -
implications ranging from continued scholarship and research, to
legislative maneuvers and policy change, to suggestions for
collaboration across NGOS, fieldworkers, clinicians, and service
providers. Together, the 34 expertly-crafted chapters provide a
wealth of knowledge from which to more deeply appreciate and
contemplate the global commercial sex industry. By uniting
contributors from around the world, this book aims to build a
relatively common knowledge base on global prostitution and sex
trafficking.
