1. Backstreets
Prostitution, Money, and Love
This book provides an in-depth exploration of the lives of street prostitutes in Oslo, Norway, drawing on extensive fieldwork and interviews conducted by the authors. It delves into the complex realities faced by these women, including their interactions with clients, the police, and social services, as well as the broader societal attitudes towards prostitution. The study challenges common stereotypes and offers a nuanced understanding of the sex trade, emphasizing the agency of the women involved and the socio-economic conditions that influence their choices. Through its detailed examination, the book sheds light on the often-marginalized voices of sex workers and contributes to the discourse on prostitution, law, and social policy in a Nordic context.
