This book is based on the year’s field work originally undertaken by Dr. Omondi with a number of sex workers and their clients and other stakeholders including police and bar owners on the Malindi coast-line of Kenya. This book is not only an analysis of the modes of life of the sex workers, and their motives and strategies, but it is also a story of female empowerment for a number of women as they create paths through the ambiguity of Kenya’s laws and the application of those laws. Additionally, in describing the strategies it might be said that this book is also a warning to older male tourists as they are lied to, tricked and taken advantage of by the stratagems adopted by many of the women.
Not all women are successful, but a sufficient number are, and their success is a model for many other who would wish to emulate their achievements.This book differs from others books on this subject. This book is premised in qualitative research paradigms and grounded research with respondents with whom the first author has had a relationship of approximately a year while doing field work and in several instances, communications continued past that year. This form of research also generated a number of ethical and practical problems that are also discussed in the book. There is also an additional chapter which discusses the implications of Covid for sex workers in Kenya.
