Write a review.
We've needed a current reminder that feminist resistance to systems of prostitution and pornography is still happening and resonating in audible and fervent ways. Such a need has been met with [this] anthology. Not for Sale offers an eclectic range of voices and writings that challenge and contest the normalization of the sex industry. Not for Sale is a must read for all — from long-standing radical feminists to those just coming into their feminist consciousness. Garine Roubinian, Rain and Thunder
'The range and quality of the articles makes Not For Sale a must read for anyone seeking to understand the opposition to prostitution.' Maurice Hamington, NWSA Journal
'Stark and Whisnant have put together an impressive array of experiences across race and culture and economic status, which makes the essays fresh…Not For Sale can be read as an introduction to feminist politics as well as an advanced theoretical discourse because the truth is simple and breaking down one wall means that there is more to see and think about and build together.' Laura Newland, Off Our Backs
‘This book should find a place in every public library.’ Union of Australian Women Newsletter
‘This three-part book is a timely and necessary addition to debates surrounding issues of prostitution and pornography. It firmly places human and civil rights at the core of the debate, and examines the connection of prostitution and pornography to racism, poverty, colonisation, globalisation and militarism. … The scope and depth of analysis is impressive, and will be a great help to those working to end sexual assault and other violence against women.’ Lara Fergus, Australian Centre for the Study of Sexual Assault Newsletter
