Recenzje

'Trevon Logan's book is a sophisticated analysis of male sex work based on a blend of economic and sociological analysis of this market. Each chapter begins with a lengthy discussion of a research question, followed by a statistical analysis of Logan's data sources. While a few other scholars have examined sex markets in a limited fashion, Logan's work stands alone in digging deep into this marketplace.' American Journal of Sociology
