<DIV>In China today, sex work cannot be untangled from the phenomenon of rural-urban migration, the entertainment industry, and state power. In Red Lights, Tiantian Zheng highlights the urban karaoke bar as the locus at which these three factors intersect and provides a rich account of the lives of karaoke hostesses—a career whose name disguises the sex work and minimizes the surprising influence these women often have as power brokers.
Zheng embarked on two years of intensely embedded ethnographic fieldwork in her birthplace, Dalian, a large northeastern Chinese seaport of over six million people. During this time, Zheng lived and worked with a group of hostesses in a karaoke bar, facing many of the same dangers that they did and forming strong, intimate bonds with them. The result is an especially engaging, moving story of young, rural women struggling to find meaning, develop a modern and autonomous identity, and, ultimately, survive within an oppressively patriarchal state system.
Moving from her case studies to broader theories of sex, gender, and power, Zheng connects a growth in capitalist entrepreneurialism to the emergence of an urban sex industry, brilliantly illuminating the ways in which hostesses, their clients, and the state are mutually created in postsocialist China.

评分总体而言，这本书的价值在民族志叙事（十几二十年前的状况），但分析解释和理论部分并不怎么样。所以主要看里面的叙事和故事就好，当然一些撕逼和爱恨情仇点还是很有趣的。另外觉得作者在写书时其实在转嫁自己情感。作者似乎想把性工作者描述成了同男权与不公正的社会做...

三星全给ethnography的部分，这个田野做的是下了血本的，勇气可嘉，只是阐释和理论部分实在不敢恭维，白白糟蹋了好故事。
评分我不知道是不是dealing in desire有参考，但是很多地方很像。虽然zheng对于这些话题的掌握并没有很hoang深刻。包括对于背景文化的考察（日本的殖民历史），产业内部的阶级，对masculinity的重塑，主要这三点太像了。只是哪一点都没有很具体也没有很深刻的理论依据。本书的narrative比analysis要多太多，是有惋惜和遗憾的感觉。intro部分的对于positionality的分析其实非常大胆，也很好看，但后面就再也没出现过了。
评分作者是耶鲁女博士，大连本地人。多年暗访大连ktv性工作者。此书为三四年间的工作汇总。"people will laugh at your poverty, but not your prostitution.""remeber, any means is justified as long as you can earn money."

评分没有华丽的书写技巧，甚至和很多娴熟的ethnographer相比，郑的笔法略显生硬。但是这些性工作者的处境，能够这样被呈现出来，就是此书的力量，值得读者的敬意。
