However, such a narrow definition of survival sex fails to recognise the multiple, complex, and coexisting motivations of young homeless women for engaging in intimate relationships in post-industrial capitalist society. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eYouth Homelessness and Survival Sex, \u003c\/i\u003e Watson's insightful analysis of personal narratives reveals how young homeless women are exposed to situations in which survival can be impeded or assisted by playing out specific gender roles. Indeed, in identifying and contesting the dominant social discourses that young homeless women draw upon to frame their experiences of intimate affairs, Watson challenges the reader to understand how gendered subjectivities are produced and performed through heteronormative relationships. This enlightening book is vital in showing that homelessness is not a gender-neutral phenomenon and that there are gender-specific processes and practices involved in the navigation of poverty, violence, and social exclusion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eYouth Homelessness and Survival Sex will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as postdoctoral researchers, interested in fields such as Homelessness, Youth Studies, Social Work, and Gender Studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Juliet Watson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367354829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367354824\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.40d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Juliet Watson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44566870884607,"sku":"9780367354824","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4c50626f-fd62-4438-9a24-fa96ef3ed322.jpg?v=1701374822","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/youth-homelessness-and-survival-sex-juliet-watson-9780367354824","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
