"In the early 1970s, a collection of brothels along the border of Texas and Mexico came to be known as "Boystown," a pleasure-zone where cowboys and college boys, gang members and family men drunkenly traveled desert highways to dance to six-piece Tejano bands, guzzle cheap liquor, and pay for sex. A small group of photographers worked these clubs every night, shooting sharp, in-your-face souvenir pictures of girls with round faces quietly smoking while men fondled them and cowboys danced on tables. These shimmering flash photos of prostitutes and their johns appear here for the first time, along with formal portraits of the women and their families, taken by the same anonymous club photographers."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
