While much attention has been paid in recent years to heterosexual prostitution and sex tourism in Brazil, gay sex tourism has been almost completely overlooked. In Tourist Attractions, Gregory C. Mitchell presents a pioneering ethnography that focuses on the personal lives and identities of male sex workers who occupy a variety of roles in Brazils sexual economy.Mitchell takes us into the bath houses of Rio de Janeiro, where rent boys cruise for clients, and to the beaches of Salvador da Bahia, where African American gay men seek out hustlers while exploring cultural heritage tourist sites. His ethnography stretches into the Amazon, where indigenous fantasies are tinged with the erotic at ecoresorts, and into the homes of kept men, who forge longterm, longdistance, transnational relationships that blur the boundaries of what counts as commercial sex. Mitchell asks how tourists perceive sex workers performances of Brazilianness, race, and masculinity, and, in turn, how these two groups of men make sense of differing models of racial and sexual identity across cultural boundaries. He proposes that in order to better understand how people experience difference sexually, we reframe prostitutionwhich Marxist feminists have long conceptualized as sexual laboras also being a form of performative labor. Tourist Attractions is an exceptional ethnography poised to make an indelible impact in the fields of anthropology, gender, and sexuality, and research on prostitution and tourism.

Honestly, I was disappointed with this book. The premise sounded great, but the execution was lacking. It felt disjointed at times and the narratives didn’t flow well. I couldn’t connect with the content, which is disappointing given the topic’s importance.

Interesting but Lacked Depth
While the book covers important themes about race and masculinity, I expected more detailed analysis of specific case studies. Some parts felt rushed and left me wanting more context. Still, it's a decent read for those curious about Brazilian culture.
