- Description
- This article explores racial performance and the hypersexualisation of women of colour in the Dutch sex industry. Racialised women are often considered victims of sex trafficking in the global sex trade. Based on both theories on racialisation and interviews, the author highlights how Dutch black sex workers perform images of blackness and racial stereotypes when seducing clients.
