Inhalt
This portrait of the intertwining of identities, relationships, and economics during Bangkok's boom years uses case studies of women's and men's participation in a range of modern markets - department stores, go-go bars etc - the author chronicles the expansion of capitalist exchange into further reaches of Thai society. She shows how global economies have interacted with local systems to create new kinds of lifestyles, ranging from »tomboys« to corporate tycoons to sex workers. Combining feminist theory with classic anthropological understandings of exchange, this historically grounded ethnography maps the reverberations of gender, sexuality, and ethnicity at the hub of Bangkok's modern economy.
