Prostitution, Pornography and Trafficking in Women
«
"Rizkalla’s article, together with the other articles in this book, contribute to a ‘must read’ volume for anybody trying to make sense of how Israel has become the sex trade capital of the Middle East and how Israeli society reconciles the systematic sexualization and abuse of women within her borders and by her citizens outside of her borders."

This book critically analyzes the sex industry in Israel, using feminist concepts and scholarship to elaborate on the power of prostitution to shape a world in which women are objects for fulfilling men's desires. Les mer
With case studies including the conspicuous context of migration that attracts sex traffickers, the liberal discourse introduced by cinema, the media and the arts that serve to legitimate prostitution and pornography, the chauvinist-macho culture that perceives and treats women as sex objects, and the issues of male prostitution and men as clients, Prostitution, Pornography and Trafficking in Women: Israel's Blood Money constitutes a study of Israel as a unique context in which the sex trade can prosper, in spite of geographical, religious and institutional constraints. As such, it will be of interest to scholars of sociology, anthropology, history, cultural studies and gender and women's studies.
