false 2358840 2 <div>In recent years, the economy of the Caribbean has become almost completely dependent on international tourism. And today one of the chief ways that foreign visitors there seek pleasure is through prostitution. While much has been written on the female sex workers who service these tourists, <i>Caribbean Pleasure Industry</i> shifts the focus onto the men. Drawing on his groundbreaking ethnographic research in the Dominican Republic, Mark Padilla discovers a complex world where the global political and economic impact of tourism has led to shifting sexual identities, growing economic pressures, and new challenges for HIV prevention. In fluid prose, Padilla analyzes men who have sex with male tourists, yet identify themselves as &#8220;normal&#8221; heterosexual men and struggle to maintain this status within their relationships with wives and girlfriends. Padilla&#8217;s exceptional ability to describe the experiences of these men will interest anthropologists, but his examination of bisexuality and tourism as much-neglected factors in the HIV/AIDS epidemic makes this book essential to anyone concerned with health and sexuality in the Caribbean or beyond.<br></div> 2365606 15 9 2007 Caribbean Pleasure Industry: Tourism, Sexuality, and AIDS in the Dominican Republic (Worlds of Desire: The Chicago Series on Sexuality, Gender, & Culture) total:7|5:1|4:3|3:3| 7 26 17 3 2358840 0226644367 9780226644363 4 2 3.71 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2358840.Caribbean_Pleasure_Industry_Tourism_Sexuality_and_AIDS_in_the_Dominican_Republic 4 0 false Mon Sep 29 20:55:29 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 29 21:01:30 -0700 2008 more...]]> 275170 0226644359 9780226644356 3 1 3.71 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/275170.Caribbean_Pleasure_Industry_Tourism_Sexuality_and_AIDS_in_the_Dominican_Republic 5 0 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 12 08:37:13 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 12 08:37:17 -0800 2007 2358840 0226644367 9780226644363 4 2 3.71 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2358840.Caribbean_Pleasure_Industry_Tourism_Sexuality_and_AIDS_in_the_Dominican_Republic 3 0 false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Feb 28 23:16:45 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 28 23:18:35 -0800 2008 2358840 0226644367 9780226644363 4 2 3.71 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2358840.Caribbean_Pleasure_Industry_Tourism_Sexuality_and_AIDS_in_the_Dominican_Republic 0 0 false Sat Sep 05 06:43:15 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 06:43:15 -0700 2009 2358840 0226644367 9780226644363 4 2 3.71 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2358840.Caribbean_Pleasure_Industry_Tourism_Sexuality_and_AIDS_in_the_Dominican_Republic 0 0 false Mon Jul 27 16:51:03 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 27 16:51:10 -0700 2009 2358840 0226644367 9780226644363 4 2 3.71 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2358840.Caribbean_Pleasure_Industry_Tourism_Sexuality_and_AIDS_in_the_Dominican_Republic 3 0 false Wed May 06 20:29:14 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 25 18:30:59 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 20:29:14 -0700 2009 2358840 0226644367 9780226644363 4 2 3.71 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2358840.Caribbean_Pleasure_Industry_Tourism_Sexuality_and_AIDS_in_the_Dominican_Republic 0 0 false Sun Mar 29 17:58:03 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 17:58:03 -0700 2009 2358840 0226644367 9780226644363 4 2 3.71 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2358840.Caribbean_Pleasure_Industry_Tourism_Sexuality_and_AIDS_in_the_Dominican_Republic 3 0 false Tue Mar 10 15:12:28 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 10 15:12:33 -0700 2009 2358840 0226644367 9780226644363 4 2 3.71 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2358840.Caribbean_Pleasure_Industry_Tourism_Sexuality_and_AIDS_in_the_Dominican_Republic 0 0 false Wed Mar 04 15:30:58 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 04 15:30:58 -0800 2009 2358840 0226644367 9780226644363 4 2 3.71 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2358840.Caribbean_Pleasure_Industry_Tourism_Sexuality_and_AIDS_in_the_Dominican_Republic 0 0 false Fri Sep 05 16:30:08 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 05 16:30:08 -0700 2008 275170 0226644359 9780226644356 3 1 3.71 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/275170.Caribbean_Pleasure_Industry_Tourism_Sexuality_and_AIDS_in_the_Dominican_Republic 4 0 false Fri Sep 05 09:35:37 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 05 09:35:37 -0700 2008 275170 0226644359 9780226644356 3 1 3.71 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/275170.Caribbean_Pleasure_Industry_Tourism_Sexuality_and_AIDS_in_the_Dominican_Republic 4 0 false Tue Jun 17 08:36:20 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 17 08:36:33 -0700 2008 2358840 0226644367 9780226644363 4 2 3.71 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2358840.Caribbean_Pleasure_Industry_Tourism_Sexuality_and_AIDS_in_the_Dominican_Republic 0 0 false Tue May 06 12:53:45 -0700 2008 Tue May 06 12:53:45 -0700 2008 2358840 0226644367 9780226644363 4 2 3.71 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2358840.Caribbean_Pleasure_Industry_Tourism_Sexuality_and_AIDS_in_the_Dominican_Republic 0 0 false Sun Mar 16 19:08:01 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 16 19:08:01 -0700 2008 2358840 0226644367 9780226644363 4 2 3.71 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2358840.Caribbean_Pleasure_Industry_Tourism_Sexuality_and_AIDS_in_the_Dominican_Republic 0 0 false Sat Mar 15 19:50:38 -0700 2008 Sat Mar 15 19:50:38 -0700 2008 2358840 0226644367 9780226644363 4 2 3.71 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2358840.Caribbean_Pleasure_Industry_Tourism_Sexuality_and_AIDS_in_the_Dominican_Republic 0 0 false Wed Feb 27 17:02:25 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 27 17:02:31 -0800 2008 275170 0226644359 9780226644356 3 1 3.71 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/275170.Caribbean_Pleasure_Industry_Tourism_Sexuality_and_AIDS_in_the_Dominican_Republic 0 0 false Thu Sep 13 12:34:08 -0700 2007 Thu Sep 13 12:34:13 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2358840
