This cultural critique of HIV/AIDS prevention programmes targetting sex tourism industries in Southeast Asia posits a new place for a speaking sex worker subject. Provides vital up-to-date research for scholars in many disciplines.

Southeast Asian sex workers are stereotypically understood as passive victims of the political economy, and submissive to western men. The advent of HIV/AIDS only compounds this image. Sex Work in Southeast Asia is a cultural critique of HIV/AIDS prevention programmes targetting sex tourism industries in Southeast Asia.

Lisa Law is Australian Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow at the Gender Relations Project, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, Australian National University, Canberra.
