Book Description
THE NIGHT TRADE is the emotionally-charged story of five strong-willed, ambitious and intelligent young women whose paths may have varied, yet led them all to one common destination-the glamorous , lucrative and sometimes dangerous world of exotic dancing. THE NIGHT TRADE was written to demonstrate the camaraderie, love, struggles, and plight of those women who resort to using the art of seductive entertainment in order to overcome their adversities, improve their lives or merely feel a sense of belonging and self-worth. It s time to stop judging a book by its cover and actually open the book. The table of contents just may interest you. And if you are not careful, you may even learn something. This gripping depiction of life in the Adult Entertainment Industry will speak to anyone who has ever felt alone while in a crowded room; neglected while being adored; or abandoned while being embraced. THE NIGHT TRADE acknowledges the seedy side of its persona while it introduces its audience to the various differences within one similarity. The five women each represent someone you may know for they come from all walks of life. While this book targets women of all ages, it will strike a nerve with those women who are single parents struggling to feed their children...with those women who are doing what they have to do to pay for their college educations... with those women who seek personal fulfillment as they feel their lives are empty, unchallenging and without purpose. As it can be argued that professional exotic dancers are the victims of exploitation, there is also the counterpoint that these individuals have benefited from and capitalized on this business. This fictional scroll is a reflection of these women, as they are depicted in a realistic light and not stereotyped as home wreckers, sexual objects, or groupies. The women are real...their stories, unfortunately, are even more real.

We Trade Our Night for Someone Else's Day
Author: Ivana Bodrozic
Publisher: Seven Stories Press
ISBN: 1644210495
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
A thriller of the ex-Yugoslavia Wars. "Bodrozic, mediated by Ellen Elias-Bursac’s assured translation, chronicles what a country chooses to remember, and what it consciously forgets, with confidence and grace." —Sarah Weinman, New York Times Book Review The city of Vukovar, situated on Croatia's easternmost periphery, across the Danube River from Serbia, was the site of some of the worst violence in the wars that rocked ex-Yugoslavia in the early '90s. It is referred to only as "the city" throughout this taut political thriller from one of Europe's most celebrated young writers. In this city without a name, fences in schoolyards separate the children of Serbs from those of Croats, and city leaders still fight to free themselves from violent crimes they committed--or permitted--during the war a generation ago. Now, it is left to a new generation--the children, now grown up, to extricate themselves from this tragic place, innocents who are nonetheless connected in different ways to the crimes of the past. Nora is a journalist assigned to do a puff piece on the perpetrator of a crime of passion--a Croatian high school teacher who fell in love with one of her students, a Serb, and is now in prison for having murdered her husband. But Nora herself is the daughter of a man who was murdered years earlier under mysterious circumstances. And she wants, if not to avenge her father, at least to bring to justice whoever committed the crime. There's a hothouse intensity to this extraordinary noir page-turner because of how closely the author sets the novel within the historical record. This city is unnamed, the story is fictional, so it can show us what actually happened there.

Rebecca Norris Webb: Night Calls

Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Rebecca Norris Webb's meditation on fathers and daughters, one's first landscape, caretaking of the land and its inhabitants, and on history that divides us as much as heals us Rebecca Norris Webb (born 1956) first came across W. Eugene Smith's "Country Doctor," his famous Life magazine photo essay, while studying at the International Center of Photography in New York. She was immediately drawn to the subject of Smith's essay, Dr Ernest Ceriani, a Colorado country doctor who was just a few years older than her father. She wondered: How would a woman tell this story, especially if she happened to be the doctor's daughter? In light of this, for the past six years Norris Webb has retraced the route of her 99-year-old father's house calls through Rush County, Indiana, the rural county where they both were born. Following his work rhythms, she photographed often at night and in the early morning, when many people arrive into the world--her father delivered some one thousand babies--and when many people leave it. Accompanying the photographs, lyrical text pieces addressed to her father create a series of handwritten letters told at a slant.

Working At Night
Author: Ger Duijzings
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110753596
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
The night represents almost universally a special, liminal or "out of the ordinary" temporal zone with its own meanings, possibilities and dangers, and political, cultural, religious and social implications. Only in the modern era was the night systematically "colonised" and nocturnal activity "normalised," in terms of (industrial) labour and production processes. Although the globalised 24/7 economy is usually seen as the outcome of capitalist modernisation, development and expansion starting in the late nineteenth century, other consecutive and more recent political and economic systems adopted perpetual production systems as well, extending work into the night and forcing workers to work the "night shift," normalising it as part of an alternative non-capitalist modernity. This volume draws attention to the extended work hours and night shift work, which have remained underexplored in the history of labour and the social science literature. By describing and comparing various political and economic "regimes," it argues that, from the viewpoint of global labour history, night labour and the spread of 24/7 production and services should not be seen, only and exclusively, as an epiphenomenon of capitalist production, but rather as one of the outcomes of industrial modernity.
