Patpong, in the heart of Bangkok, teems with bars and sex shows, catering mainly to farangs - foreigners. Cleo Odzer, a young anthropologist, spent three years studying the area. Gaining the confidence of the bar girls and bar boys, she interviewed them at length, lived among them, accompanied several back to their families in remote villages. She also got to know their customers, those in for a night or in forever (many fell in love and stayed on in Patpong). From Odzer's account emerges a far different picture from the cliched image of the prostitute.

Lorde widmete ihr Schaffen dem Kampf gegen Unterdrückung. Verschiedenheit und Schwesternschaft, Zorn, Erotik und Sprache wurden zu kraftvollen Waffen.

Back in 2015, a girl named Joy Morgan started watching strange videos on YouTube. Videos of men with loud voices, draped in purple and gold robes, reciting fiery scripture from the Bible. At first, she was simply curious. She was a teenager after all. But soon she started to believe what they were saying. The way they preached spoke to her. At school, she told a classmate he wouldn’t be going to heaven. Why? Because he wasn’t Black. Just a few years later, Joy stopped celebrating Christmas. In fact, she hardly saw her family at all.
