Occupational Hazards - Sex, Business, and Hiv in Post-Mao China

Zusatztext "Elanah Uretsky provides a rich! detailed ethnography of the entertaining practices and sexual lives of male government officials in Ruili (Yunnan province)! where she conducted her fieldwork in the early 2000s. Uretsky marshals this ethnographic data to develop a powerful critique of dominant public health paradigms surrounding STIs and HIV...By weaving together arguments about sexuality! gender! work! borders! and governance! Uretsky crafts a very compelling account of the structures which inform and enable medically "risky" behavior among elite men in China. Any serious attempt to combat HIV! STIs! or even chronic disease in China will have to contend with her findings."
