Sexing the Caribbean: Gender, Race and Sexual Labour
This unprecedented work provides both the history of sex work in this region as well as an examination of current-day sex tourism. Based on interviews with sex workers, brothel owners, local residents and tourists, Kamala Kempadoo offers a vivid account of what life is like in the world of sex tourism as well as its entrenched roots in colonialism and slavery in the Caribbean.
Kamala Kempadoo is a Professor in York University’s Department of Social Science and interim Graduate Program Director, Social and Political Thought. Her research includes sexuality, sex work studies, human trafficking discourse, and Latin American and Caribbean studies.
