Dr. Heather Berg began research for Porn Work in 2013 and spent the next 7 years putting together a book that said something important about the condition of labor. Dr. Berg’s study focused on the adult industry but was written in such a way that the situations discussed are present in our society writ large. Through her own style of creating a narrative around researched facts and first-hand interviews, Dr. Berg translated the often misunderstood notion of late capitalism into a story which is easily versed into everyday conversation.The book, entitled Porn Work, need not be relegated to the adult section. Although there are adult topics discussed, Dr. Berg goes to great lengths in comparing the struggles faced among those entrepreneurs who work in adult, as well as “straight jobs”. In fact, despite the title, there is only coincidental concentration on the actual sex that is a part of the adult industry. Then, Dr. Berg’s research goes a step further, insisting that the rights of any worker should not, and cannot, be dependent upon his or her chosen profession. Indeed, when speaking of workers’ struggle for rights and recognition, each worker must have access to those basic tenets regardless of their profession, race, creed, or gender identification. Indeed, this is a universal study for any who wish to better understand the world, and then– how to make that world better.To whomever is interested in learning more about personal, worker, and societal rights, Porn Work will be a valuable addition to their library.
