Not for Sale by Stark Christine

Not for Sale by Stark Christine

Prostitution and pornography are linked with racism and male dominance as well as with imperialism, militarism (including torture) and global corporate culture. The result is devastating harm for women and children within these industries. Subjected to physical and psychological violence - poverty, drug addiction and homelessness are their usual companions. With its mix of personal stories, theory, research, testimony, and accounts of current activism, Not For Sale will be an invaluable resource for all those seeking to inform themselves about the realities of the sex business and will serve to strengthen and broaden feminist resistance to pornography and prostitution.

"As this brilliant and timely collection makes clear, men who respect and value women--not to mention social justice and human rights--must not avert our eyes from the sexual exploitation of women and children all around us" --Jackson Katz, cofounder, Mentors in Violence Prevention
