Description
Book SynopsisUnmasking the lies behind the selling of porn as ‘just a bit of fun’ Big Porn Inc reveals the shocking truths of an industry that trades in violence, crime and degradation. This fearless book will change the way you think about pornography.
Trade Review"This is by far the best and most significant of these recent books. It comes from Spinifex, a feminist press in Australia, where radical feminism is prospering rather more than in the U.S. (Spinifex was recently profiled by Barry, 2016). With 40 solid chapters, this is the richest such feminist collection since Laura Lederers (1980) Take Back the Night: Women on Pornography and/or Diana Russells (1983) Making Violence Sexy: Feminist Views on Pornography." Robert Bannon in Dignity: A Journal on Sexual Exploitation and Violence
Shortlisted as a secondary reference source - 'Highly Commended' - in the Australian Educational Publishing Awards 2012.
Contributor Meagan Tyler from Victoria University, Australia was a speaker at the Challenging Porn Conference, at London Metropolitan University in early December 2011.
