The Ironies of Freedom: Sex, Culture, and Neoliberal Governance in Vietnam (Critical Dialogues in Southeast Asian Studies)

by Thu-HuongNguyen-vo (Author)

Synopsis

In the late 1980s, Vietnam joined the global economy after decades of war and relative isolation, demonstrating how a former socialist government can adapt to global market forces with their neoliberal emphasis on freedom of choice for entrepreneurs and consumers. This book examines an aspect of this new market: commercial sex.
