Street Sex Workers' Discourse: Realizing Material Change Through Agential Choice

By Jill McCracken

Incorporating the voices and insights of street sex workers through personal interviews, this monograph argues that the material conditions of many street workers are represented, reproduced, and entrenched in the language surrounding their work. As an ethnographic case study of a local system that can be extrapolated to other subcultures and the construction of identities, this book disrupts some of the more prevalent academics and lays understandings about street prostitution by providing a thorough analysis of the material conditions surrounding street work and their connection to discourse.
