Routledge - The Subject of Prostitution: Sex Work, Law and Theory

The Subject of Prostitution by Routledge provides a unique analysis of the connections between sex work, law, and social theory. This book offers an advanced analytical framework to help readers understand the complexities and contingencies of sex work within late modernity. By using social theory to disrupt fixed meanings, the text examines how law relates to sex work in a changing social landscape. This work explores contemporary citizenship discourse and the legal system's attempt to balance different perspectives. It looks at the tension between the demands for empowerment expressed by sex workers and the calls for protection from radical feminists who view prostitution through a specific lens. This book is a valuable resource for those studying the intersection of legal frameworks, social theory, and the realities of sex work.
