{"product_id":"dirty-dancing-rachela-colosi-9781843928171","title":"Dirty Dancing: An Ethnography of Lap Dancing","description":"Based on ethnographic research conducted in 'Starlets', a lap-dancing club in the North of England, this book delves into what is often seen as the 'deviant', and 'stigmatized' world of lap-dancing. As well as the relationships between dancers, the author offers a unique insider's account of lap-dancing club culture, having worked as a lap-dancer both prior to, and during, the study. The book tells a fascinating tale of the author's experiences working as a lap dancer and the insights this has provided. This book projects a textured picture of working, socializing and living as a lap-dancer by following the dancer from the beginning of her career, to her eventual exit; providing a fluid and comprehensive examination of the occupation of lap-dancing. As well as building on the popular themes of 'dancer motivation', 'dancer exploitation\/empowerment' and risk already embedded in existing literature, this book also offers completely new insight into this industry by drawing attention to the occupational subculture of which lap-dancers at 'Starlets' were found to be a part. This book is recommended for anyone studying or researching in this field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachela Colosi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1843928175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843928171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Willan Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 150","brand":"Rachela Colosi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088870748415,"sku":"9781843928171","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_752057ae-bead-47a6-9416-2c94c80bab42.jpg?v=1769106998","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dirty-dancing-rachela-colosi-9781843928171","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
