| | | | This captivating ethnography explores Vietnam's sex industry as the country ascends the global and regional stage. "Dealing in Desire" illuminates Ho Chi Minh City's sex industry as not just a microcosm of the global economy, but a critical space where dreams and deals are traded. Over the course of five years, author Kimberly Kay Hoang (now a CISSR Fellow) worked at four exclusive Saigon hostess bars catering to diverse clientele: wealthy local Vietnamese and Asian businessmen and Western budget-tourists. Last year, Hoang and Michael Kennedy (Brown University) discussed "Dealing in Desire" with Open Stacks: The Seminary Co-Op Bookstore Podcast. Scrub forward to minute 44:40 to hear their conversation. | | | |
