Sommario/riassunto |
|
Combining historic and ethnographic research, Angela R. Demovic reveals the intersection of alcohol sales and stripteasing in the French Quarter. She demonstrates how B-drinkers-workers hired by bar owners to flirt with patrons who buy them drinks-maintain agency and create community in a tourism economy. |
