Extract

A Trade Like Any Other explores the status of freelance women singers and dancers in Egypt. In her Introduction, Nieuwkerk states the twofold goal of her book: to de-exoticize the entertainment trade and to generate more sympathy for male and female entertainers among Egyptians and Westerners alike.
