Making Sense of Prostitution
This book provides a compelling analysis of the conditions in which women are sustained within prostitution in Britain at the end of the millennium. Based on a major empirical study, it is a unique glimpse into how some women, who live lives completely torn apart by poverty, violence and criminalization, are able to understand their lives in prostitution and make sense of the choices they make (including their involvement in prostitution) in their struggles to survive.

Dream Walker Shattered
Dream walkers don't die! A phoenix is immortal! She was sent to kill him, and he was ready to kill the phoenix hunting for his power. Now, they must find their way back to each other to unite their family and save their child from the goddess Aphrodite who means to kill her or use her families combined bloodline power. The whole family is dead or stuck in a dreamscape. Phoenix is her only protector left alive. Will Phoenix keep their daughter from turning to the dark arts and ultimately destroying mortals, immortals, gods, and goddesses? Is the child capable of being good? Will the stress of constantly being hunted cause her to choose the dark arts? Will Phoenix have to fight Aphrodite alone? Or will phoenix slit her wrist to save the whole family? Will love for one child save the dream-walker bloodline? "I have heard people talking about you." "Really! What do they say?" "That you're permanent death."
Capitalism's Sexual History
As ongoing controversies over commercial sex attest, the relationship between capitalism and sexuality is deeply contentious. Economic and sexual practices are assumed to be not only separable but antithetical, hence why paid sex is so often criminalized and morally condemned. Yet, while sexuality is highly politicized in moral terms, it has largely been overlooked in the discipline devoted to the study of global capitalism, international political economy (IPE). Likewise, the prevailing field in sexuality studies, queer theory, has frequently sidelined questions of political economy. This book calls for critical scholarship to challenge the economy/sexuality dichotomy as it not only structu...
Our Bodies, Whose Property?
An argument against treating our bodies as commodities No one wants to be treated like an object, regarded as an item of property, or put up for sale. Yet many people frame personal autonomy in terms of self-ownership, representing themselves as property owners with the right to do as they wish with their bodies. Others do not use the language of property, but are similarly insistent on the rights of free individuals to decide for themselves whether to engage in commercial transactions for sex, reproduction, or organ sales. Drawing on analyses of rape, surrogacy, and markets in human organs, Our Bodies, Whose Property? challenges notions of freedom based on ownership of our bodies and argues...
Women and Punishment
In the last decade there has been growing international concern about the increasing numbers of women in prison, the effects that imprisonment has on their children, the realisation that gaoled women have different criminal profiles and rehabilitative needs to male prisoners, and the seeming intractability of the associated problems. In response there has been an overarching policy concern in many countries to fashion and co-ordinate gender-specific policies towards female offenders which aim both to slow down the rate of their offending and/or imprisonment, and also to engender flexible programmes which will reduce the time spent in custody and/or away from their young children. The major o...
Sexuality Repositioned
This book aims to explore some of the social and moral censures, contours and controversies that shape and mark the boundaries of sexuality.
Towards a Very British Version of the “Culture Wars”
This book examines the emergence and the political use of what has come to be known as “culture wars” in the United Kingdom. Adopting multidisciplinary perspectives, it investigates the ways in which cultural identities are used for political ends. The book bridges the conceptual and theoretical gap in fully understanding the so-called culture wars in a British context; as such, it envisages debates as part of a larger political project to gain popular support by tapping into voters’ sense of neglect by the political elite. Applying the concept of “national populism” as a binding conceptual framework for the book, a prestigious panel of international experts offer thorough analyses to show that not enough attention is being paid to what may be considered as an “escalation” of culture wars, and to how divisions have been accentuated by political elites to deliberately exacerbate them. This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and readers in British politics, populism studies, party politics, Conservative party politics and more broadly to European and Comparative politics.
