Synopsis

Selling Sex provides the first comprehensive history of prostitution in Australia from before European colonization to the present, and situates this history within an international context of labor migration and policy formation. It draws on extensive archival research and interviews to chart the ways in which prostitution contributed not just to women’s economic survival but also to broader processes of colonization and nation-building.

From the Publisher

"Gay life seems to have disappeared like the Cheshire Cat, leaving just a cheeky grin. Reynolds explains where it's now hiding. The radical, the uber-gay, the clone, the clubber, the homeboy - they're all here, talking to Reynolds, and what they have to say about being gay now makes for an engrossing, confronting, and often very moving book." - Robert Dessaix, author of A Mother's Disgrace
