Reviews
Rich with theory and story, The Soft City reveals a New York that many overlook. Williams is no detached researcher. By weaving himself into the settings and scenes he describes he uses the power of ethnography to argue for the honoring of desire and protecting of personal freedom., Dr. Terry Williams and his team of (apprentice) ethnographers chart the Soft City, or sexual underground of New York City, via four decades of field notes. These vignettes expose a vast variety of perspectives--different epochs of the Soft City, a diverse set of scholars, a variety of venues, and the cast of characters who dwell in these temporal locations--through which the reader is treated to an understanding of human sexuality as heterogeneous as the city itself., Terry Williams and his team of (apprentice) ethnographers chart the Soft City, or the sexual underground of New York City, via four decades of field notes. These vignettes expose a vast variety of perspectives--different epochs of the Soft City, a diverse set of scholars, a variety of venues, and the cast of characters who dwell in these temporal locations--through which the reader is treated to an understanding of human sexuality as heterogeneous as the city itself., I met Professor Terry Williams in the mid-1990s when together, along with a varied cadre of sociology students, embarked into unveiling the softness of the city's sexual fabric. During those amazing outings, my hard core (as a young Latina immigrant at the time) melted into the faintness of our study participants' stories that would become alive at sex shops, peep shows, topless bars, gay and transgender cabarets, and BDSM clubs. Underlying the political economy of desire, the soft city revealed to me in what Williams calls the 'erotic poetry of pain,' and via our communal need to be welcomed by strangers in almost unexpected ways. In this book, Professor Williams masterfully unveils his own trajectory, and that of his sociology apprentices, coming of age as acutely sensitive--yet vulnerable--fieldworkers, all inhabitants of a sexually malleable urban hub. Together, they perfected the ethnographic métier by diving into the rough corners of the city's lubricious pores. With painstaking rigor, Williams brings decades of fieldwork to fruition, revealing the cosmopolitan aesthetics of a sensuous underground milieu. A must read for anyone eager to hone the craft of engaged ethnography, this book will also appeal to those interested in the subversive, albeit commoditized, geography of transgressed desire in a globalized world., The Soft City , a magnificent synthesis of public spaces where sex takes place, is a compelling collage ethnography of the invisible part of New York City. Williams takes the reader to parts of the city that are not mapped and places where the lives of 'disposable' people unfold. Through a complex and vividly written narrative, consisting of storiettes, the reader is exposed to experiences with sexuality among people from numerous walks of life. As new insights emerge, the reader is challenged not to judge. Peeking through a lens that is focused on desire, the reader becomes both a spectator and eyewitness of sexual communities and the public spaces where sex takes place. Williams' important and provocative work emphasizes how much is not apparent unless we look for it. A powerful reminder for all., I met Professor Terry Williams in the mid-1990s when together, along with a varied cadre of sociology students, embarked into unveiling the softness of the city's sexual fabric.

A must-read for anyone eager to hone the craft of engaged ethnography, this book will also appeal to those interested in the subversive, albeit commoditized geography of transgressed desire in a globalized world., An incredible ethnographic exploration of public sex in one of the world's most diverse cities: New York. Sociologist Terry Williams offers a brilliant micro-sociological analysis of the ways in which desire, pleasure, sexuality, and gender are socially organized and experienced in contemporary societies., The Soft City is a time-machine ride to a vanished New York, one in which the sex trade was wide-open--at once brazen and furtive, anonymous and eccentric, mundane and bizarre, outrageous and straitjacketed by repression. The impressive level of detail steeps the reader in all the sights, sounds, and even smells that cannot be experienced in today's world of distanced online pornography., The Soft City is a time-machine ride to a vanished New York, one in which the sex trade was wide open--at once brazen and furtive, anonymous and eccentric, mundane and bizarre, outrageous and straitjacketed by repression.
