Opis

Combining historic and ethnographic research, Angela R. Demovic reveals the intersection of alcohol sales and stripteasing in the French Quarter. She demonstrates how B-drinkers--workers hired by bar owners to flirt with patrons who buy them drinks--maintain agency and create community in a tourism economy.
