Street Sex Work and Canadian Cities

Resisting a Dangerous Order

By: Shawna Ferris

“Our voices scrubbed out and forgotten. There are those who research and write about sex workers who often forget we are human.” —Amy Lebovitch Shawna Ferris gives a voice to sex workers who are often pushed to the background, even by those who fight for them. In the name of urban safety and orderliness, street sex workers face stigma, racism, and ignorance. Their human rights are ignored, and some even lose their lives. Ferris aims to reveal the cultural dimensions of this discrimination through literary and art-critical theory, legal and sociological research, and activist intervention. Canadian cities are striving for high safety ratings by eliminating crime, which includes “cleaning” urban areas of the street sex industry. Ironically, sex workers also want to live and work in a safe environment. Ferris questions these sanitizing political agendas, reviews exclusionary legislative and police initiatives, and examines media representations of sex workers. This book has much to offer to educators and activists, sex workers and anti-violence organizations, and academics studying women, cultural, gender, or indigenous issues.

Claiming Cambria

Invoking the Welsh in the Romantic Era

By: Shawna Lichtenwalner

By investigating Romantic-era negotiations of Welsh culture both by writers seeking to further the assimilation of the Welsh, and by those seeking to protect and preserve a distinctive cultural identity for the Welsh, this book traces the effects of differing historiographic approaches to identity formation, allowing for a better understanding of how cultural material can be productively reworked in order to gain a specific end."--BOOK JACKET.
