{"product_id":"sexed-work-gender-race-and-resistance-in-a-brooklyn-drug-market-9780198299318","title":"Sexed Work: Gender, Race, and Resistance in a Brooklyn Drug Market","description":"Based on three years of ethnographic work in New York City, this book provides the first detailed account of the economic lives of women drug users. Set in a neighborhood plagued with AIDS, \u003cem\u003eSexed Work\u003c\/em\u003e reveals the economic lives of a group of women whose options have been severely circumscribed, not only by drug use, but also by poverty, racism, violence, and enduring marginality. Maher draws extensively on the women's own words to describe how structures and relations of gender, race and class are articulated by divisions of labor in the street-level drug economy. This rich, nuanced and theoretically sophisticated study of crime as work will be compelling reading for all those interested in the way in which women deal with the intersection of gender, race, and work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa Maher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.42h x 5.43w x 0.62d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198299318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLisa Maher\u003c\/strong\u003e, Research Fellow in the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre and the School of Community Medicine, University of New South Wales\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39932093988979,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":65.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_eaf4b924-5063-4bc8-ac91-aa758745fef3.jpg?v=1647789636","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/sexed-work-gender-race-and-resistance-in-a-brooklyn-drug-market-9780198299318","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
