China’s Commercial Sexscapes: Rethinking Intimacy, Masculinity, and Criminal Justice

"China’s Commercial Sexscapes gives a voice to women and men who otherwise remain largely voiceless and nameless in a nation which would rather pretend that they don’t exist."

Mike Cormack, South China Morning Post, October 12, 2019

"Eileen Yuk-ha Tsang has done us a terrific service. China’s Commercial Sexscapes is the first in-depth overview of the levels of erotic entertainment found in urban China. We are invited to probe how various participants perceive themselves in a variety of sexual and emotional transactions. This is how ethnography should be."

William Jankowiak, Department of Anthropology, University of Nevada, Las Vegas

"Exploring a range of factors influencing female sex work in the urban regions of China, including urban migration, kinship systems, and economic and political upheaval, China’s Commercial Sexcapes demonstrates impressive ethnographic research."

Graham Scambler, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University College London

"China’s Commercial Sexscapes contributes to the literature on the variegated levels of sex work in urban China. Its ethnographic approach offers readers an in-depth scrutiny of the dynamic interactions between clients and sex workers."
