“Based on extensive fieldwork and revealing interviews across dozens of red light venues in Rio de Janeiro, Play Naked is an excellent book that challenges what the media, policy makers, and much of the public think they know about sporting events and the lives of women involved in the sex trade.” - Gregory Mitchell, Williams College "A powerful and expansive investigation, Play Naked is also a cautionary tale for urban planners and policymakers, as well as students of race, ethnicity, the Global South, and gender and sexuality studies." - Amalia Cabezas, author of Economies of Desire: Sex and Tourism in Cuba and the Dominican Republic “Play Naked represents over a decade of collective work led by sex workers, grounded in collaboration, knowledge exchange, and political activism. It exposes the violence of a heteropatriarchal system reinforced by state capitalism and the displacement caused by mega-events like the Olympics and the World Cup. The book confronts the erasure of struggles from the Global South and celebrates the resilience of women, Black people, Indigenous peoples, LGBTQIAPN communities, and, above all, resists the hate-fueled attempts at erasing the existence of sex workers and trans people.” - Indianarae Siqueira, CasaNem
