This book challenges many suppositions surrounding sex tourism, suggesting that elderly males who seek romance and are caught up in their fantasies of finding love with ‘exotic’ black women are taken advantage of, even while the women are often deluding themselves when searching for the mzungu who will enable them to fulfil their dreams of travel, house ownership and comfort. It is a complex story based on research into the lives of the sex workers obtained from a study conducted over 12 months in the bars and nightclubs of the Kenyan coast. Fortunes are made and lost, but the tragedy is that the success of the few in achieving their dreams becomes a false promise for the majority who seek to emulate the success of the few. The book will be of immense value to those interested in gender studies, and indeed those who hold an interest in the complexities of sex work.
