Selling Sex in the City offers a worldwide analysis of prostitution since 1600. It analyses more than 20 cities with an important sex industry and compares policies and social trends, coercion and agency, but also prostitutes'working and living conditions.

The volume is divided into two parts, one containing twenty-three urban overviews while the other includes eight thematic papers. All the authors of the urban essays were required to cover prostitution in the city or town in question between 1600 and the present, or for the time it existed if the city did not exist as a town of sufficient size for the full four centuries.

The urban overviews are organized in four regional sections: Europe, Africa and the Middle East, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific.

The intricacy of the subject, combined with the almost complete lack of information for many periods, places, and actors, results in a global history that does not cover each corner of the globe or each period to the same degree. We have covered every region of the world, but sub-Saharan Africa is underrepresented. Information about many ex-colonies in the Americas, Africa, and Asia for the period before the nineteenth century, as well as on prostitution in rural or suburban areas is often unavailable. Similarly, historical data about male and underage prostitutes or on clients and third parties is even more scarce than material on female sex workers. Yet, as is demonstrated in the concluding chapter, the cities and themes included in this volume provide a solid basis for a global history of prostitution and we are confident that they also make a valuable contribution to a more comprehensive understanding of the world of labour.
