"Written in an accessible style, the book weaves personal narrative
about the author's 'gypsy scholar' life with social theorizing. It
produces an interesting account of shifting social bonds and
tensions between private and public experiences and events. The
book draws on a wide range of resources, including sociological
research, political and economic events and theories, and popular
cultural materials, including film, television and novels."
Sociology; Lisa Smyth, Queens University Belfast
"Sex Money and Power is a wonderfully written reflection on the
meaning of our individual lives and their relation to a wider
social context. In an unconvential but poignant way, it uses
autobiography, social theory and historical narrative to confront
the great gods of our time, and the processes that bind us to them.
A humorous, quirky subtle, insightful and provocative look at
questions that should be taxing us all, this work connects the
personal and the social in a flowing and compelling
analysis."
Saladin Meckled-Garcia, University College London
