Routledge - Gendered Power Dynamics and Exotic Dance Book

Gendered Power Dynamics and Exotic Dance: A Multilevel Analysis provides a deep look into the social phenomenon of exotic dancing. Part of the Interdisciplinary Studies in Sex for Sale series, this work by Routledge offers a compelling multilevel analysis of how dancers interact, how organizations function, and how institutional forces shape the industry. By centering the voices and experiences of exotic dancers, the text explores the connections between dance and power across three distinct layers: micro-interactional, meso-organizational, and macro-institutional levels. This approach helps readers understand the complex relationship between sexuality and power in modern society. This book serves as a foundation for a feminist theory of power. It identifies systems of domination to help readers challenge existing structures. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in anthropology, sociology, and the study of gendered social dynamics.
