Beyond Victims and Villains: Rethinking Sex Work
Sex work exists at a curious intersection in our culture-simultaneously hypervisible in media and invisible in meaningful policy discussions. In "Playing the Whore," Melissa Gira Grant delivers a powerful corrective to conventional narratives, turning the analytical lens away from sex workers themselves and toward the systems that control, police, and define them. This isn't a book about why people sell sex or whether they should-it's about how society manufactures the category of "prostitute" and the real-world consequences of that construction. What if our greatest concern wasn't the existence of commercial sex but rather the violence inflicted on those who provide it? What if the greatest threat to sex workers isn't their work, but those who claim to protect, study, or save them?
