So, want to read a really detailed account of dockside prostitution in South Africa? Yes? Feast your eyes on Sugar Girls and Seamen, a blog that Henry Trotter, a Yale Ph.D. student in African History, has been writing over the past year before publishing a book on the topic in June. Trotter's pivots between erudite analysis and graphic descriptions of his travels in Cape Town and Durban can be jarring, but they offer a fascinating glimpse of what he calls the "shadowy scene." Posts seem to be winding down in anticipation of the book, but these favorites will get you started in your archive diving:

  • Introduction: "She said that the seamen opened her mind to the world beyond South Africa." Joke up to you.
  • Prostitution may be legal at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa (still working on it). Study up now?
  • Prostitutes Love Wrestling, but not the kind you think.
