"Zona Norte: The Post-Structural Body of Erotic Dancers and Sex Workers in Tijuana, San Diego and Los Angeles: An Auto/ethnography of Desire and Addiction" started out as an ethnographic study of prostitution on both sides of the U.S./Mexican border and, as cultural anthropologist and writer and literary theorist Michael Hemmingson explains, turned inward as a study of the self, or what is referred to as auto/ethnography in today's lexicon of qualitative research. The author studies himself within the culture of the Other - he examines his feelings, memories, and reactions as he conducts his participant observations and interviews in the field, questioning why he chose to research erotic and exotic dancers, strippers, hookers, and various sex workers on both sides of an international border, revealing how the subjects are alike, and how they are different, and how they survive in their worlds.
