Queer Sex Work provides a fabulous antidote to the dominant, heteronormative orientation of most research and policymaking regarding commercial sex. Multidisciplinary and comprehensive in the range of issues covered, the book offers many fresh insights on the role of gender, sexuality, activism, and individuals' experiences when engaging in sex work. It should be required reading for policymakers who legislate in this area. - Ronald Weitzer, Professor of Sociology, George Washington University, USA
Deploying "queer" as both an empirical descriptor and as an incisive analytic, this volume makes a necessary intervention into current debates around sex, work, and the vast domain of experience in-between. - Elizabeth Bernstein, Associate Professor of Women's Studies and Sociology, Barnard College, Columbia University, USA
Essential reading and an excellent text that brings a much-needed focus on queer sex work, as well as addressing relevant theories, practices and methodologies in order to "queer sex work". - Maggie ONeill, Professor of Criminology, School of Applied Social Sciences, Durham University, UK
'Not only is Queer Sex Work a volume that illuminates the often dark realm of Sex Studies, it also proves a scientifically fundamental contribution to the field of Queer Studies, and definitely helps the discipline take a step forward, by eliminating or at least diminishing the underestimation and prejudice that more often than not characterise the dimension of sex, a fundamental and constructing part of the human, which cannot be ignored by any study that attempts at exploring our culture.' Raffaele Cutolo, University of Verona, Verona, Italy, Pólemos
