In Red Lights, Tiantian Zheng highlights the urban karaoke bar as the locus at which these three factors intersect and provides a rich account of the lives of karaoke hostesses-a career whose name disguises the sex work and minimizes the surprising influence these women often have as power brokers. Zheng embarked on two years of intensely embedded ethnographic fieldwork in her birthplace, Dalian, a large northeastern Chinese seaport of over six million people. 606 $aProstitution$zChina$xHistory 606 $aSex-oriented businesses$zChina 607 $aChina$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aProstitution$xHistory. 615 0$aSex-oriented businesses 676 $a306.74095109049--dc22 700 $aZheng$b Tiantian$0781872 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454094603321 996 $aRed lights$92485287 997 $aUNINA
