This book addresses the transformation of the exotic dance industry, focusing on the ways that corporate chains have changed both the performance and reception of striptease. The author, drawing on her own experience as an exotic dancer, examines the ways that striptease embodies conflicting notions of race, class, and female sexuality, and how the exotic dance industry deploys these differences to codify and commodify our erotic imagination. With case studies.
