[Review] Melissa Gira Grant (2014) Playing the whore: the work of sex work
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 00:52 authored by Jessica OliverMelissa Gira Grant’s latest book examines the denial of basic labour rights for sex workers, and the external factors behind this, including the attitudes of the police, media and politicians. The book is a sharp critique of the sensationalist treatment of the industry and behaviours of establishment figures that proves timely in the wake of Amnesty’s recently declared support for global decriminalization.
