Opis

This volume is a methodologically focused book that offers rich insights into the, often secret, subjectivities of men who pay for sex in South Africa. It centres on the interview context, outlining a critical reflexive approach to understanding how knowledge is co-produced by both the interviewer and the participant in research about sex.

Recenzje

'Useful for anyone interested in sexuality and gender, the process of interviewing is assessed at the micro level which shines a light on complex personal dynamics. Using case studies to illuminate the nature of the interviewer-participant encounter, this reflective account provides an intimate exposé of an area of methodology which is rarely discussed. A must for anyone planning or doing sensitive interviewing'.

Teela Sanders, Professor of Criminology, University of Leicester, UK
