| Is a native-born tour guide who has sex with touristsin exchange for dinner or gifts or cashmerely a prostitute or gigolo? What if the tourist continues to send gifts or money to the tour guide after returning home? As this original and provocative book demonstrates, when it comes to sexand the effects of capitalism and globalizationnothing is as simple as it might seem. Based on ten years of research, Economies of Desire examines the erotic underpinnings of transnational tourism. It offers startling insights into the commingling of sex, intimacy, and market forces in Cuba and the Dominican Republic, two nations where tourism has had widespread effects. In her multi-layered analyses, Amalia Cabezas reconceptualizes our understandings of informal economies (particularly affective economies), sex workers, and sexual tourism, and she helps us appreciate how money, sex and love are intertwined within the structure of globalizing capitalism. | |
