Cet article explore les performances raciales et l'hypersexualisation des femmes noires dans l'industrie du sexe néerlandaise. Dans le commerce mondial du sexe, les femmes racialisées sont constamment considérées comme des victimes du trafic sexuel sans aucune agence, en particulier les travailleuses du sexe migrantes dans les pays européens. Bien qu'il existe une abondante littérature sur la manière dont la hiérarchie raciale affecte les femmes noires dans l'industrie du sexe aux États-Unis, de telles recherches pertinentes font défaut en Europe. Dans cette recherche exploratoire, je déconstruis les images des femmes noires et situe son récit aux Pays-Bas. Avec des entretiens semi-directifs et approfondis, j'ai l'intention de mettre en évidence comment les travailleuses du sexe noires interprètent des images de noirceur et des stéréotypes raciaux lorsqu'elles séduisent des clients masculins. Mon cadre théorique comprend les « images de contrôle » de Patricia Hill Collins, les « archives culturelles » de Gloria Wekker,

This "hilarious and honest" bestselling memoir from a rising comedy star tackles issues of gender, sexuality, feminism, and the Catholic childhood that prepared her for a career as an outspoken lesbian comedian (Abby Wambach).Cameron Esposito wanted to be a priest and ended up a stand-up comic. Now she would like to tell the whole queer as hell story. Her story. Not the sidebar to a straight person's rebirth-she doesn't give a makeover or plan a wedding or get a couple back together. This isn't a queer tragedy. She doesn't die at the end of this book, having finally decided to kiss the girl. It's the sexy, honest, bumpy, and triumphant dyke's tale her younger, wasn't-allowed-to-watch-Ellen self needed to read. Because there was a long time when she thought she wouldn't make it. Not as a comic, but as a human. SAVE YOURSELF is full of funny and insightful recollections about everything from coming out (at a Catholic college where sexual orientation wasn't in the nondiscrimination policy) to how joining the circus can help you become a better comic (so much nudity) to accepting yourself for who you are-even if you're, say, a bowl cut-sporting, bespectacled, gender-nonconforming child with an eye patch (which Cameron was). Packed with heart, humor, and cringeworthy stories anyone who has gone through puberty, fallen in love, started a career, or had period sex in Rome can relate to, Cameron's memoir is for that timid, fenced-in kid in all of us-and the fearless stand-up yearning to break free.
