Gain $pread: The Best Of The Magazine That Illuminated The Sex Industry And Started A Media Revolution Produced By Rachel Aimee EBook
can't rate books by people I know! I wish the magazine was still in print today, Sex workers all around the world were able to open up about their experiences instead of having to stay in the shadows.
While a magazine might not be the best way for this to happen any more, sex workers need an opportunity to get out opinions and stories once again to change the world view of sex work.
This is a great collection that's really accessible and engaging, The articles are incredibly diverse in tone and subject, ranging from a hilarious anecdotes, like a story about being paid to eat sushi, to devastating essays and confessions about violence and hatred toward sex workers.
pread will really challenge you as a reader and open you up to new perspectives and issues, Read it! Well, THAT was certainly interesting! The essays in this book certainly introduced some perspectives that I had not previously considered.
It was far more political than I anticipated, The parts written by the editors read like a satricical send up of pc language policing, . . but they are serious. They tie themselves in knots trying to stand for all sex workers everywhere and leave no one out.
But the essays by contibutors were really interesting and well written, If you chose to read this book, there will be something you will disagree with and probably be offended by.
But you will not be at all bored, i had heard about this magazine when it was being publish but never got to read it in print so it was so great to get to
read many of the articles and the breadth of topics, styles and opinions.
pread: The Best of the Magazine that Illuminated the Sex Industry and Started a Media Revolution includes a collection of wellwritten, raw and compelling essays by a range of sex workers representing different backgrounds and experiences.
This anthology was intelligent, heartbreaking, inspiring and hilarious, Some essays spoke of sex workers who were empowered by the work that they do while others focused on the dangers they were exposed to as a result of a disabling sociopolitical environment.
The book is a work of activism and the editors do a fantastic job at framing the issues being presented using a respectful, equitable and inclusive lens.
I really enjoyed this book and have since searched for similar work to no avail, pread fostered a platform for invaluable but chronically underrepresented voices and I am here for it.
