It is, without question, the definitive book on pornography and pop culture in the twenty-first century. Many have been eagerly awaiting Pornland, in which she synthesizes all that work-and it has been worth the wait. I highly recommend it."Wendy Maltz, LCSW, DST, coauthor of The Porn Trap: The Essential Guide to Overcoming Problems Caused by Pornography "For more than a decade, Gail Dines has been at the forefront of the study of the contemporary pornography industry and its effects. Pornland is well researched, well written, and heartfelt. This is accessible and grounded social analysis at its finest."Jackson Katz, Ph.D., creator of the video Tough Guise and author of The Macho Paradox: Why Some Men Hurt Women and How All Men Can Help "An eyes-wide-open look at the way the porn industry exploits and damages the gift of our sexuality to fuel itself. Gail Dines understands both the economics and cultural power of the pornography industry perhaps better than anyone ever has. It will now be the starting point for serious discussions about how porn shapes and distorts social and sexual norms. From the intricate linking of the porn industry with Fortune 500 companies to behind the scenes of Girls Gone Wild, Dines makes eye-opening connections and breaks new ground with every chapter."Chyng Sun, associate professor of media studies, New York University, director of The Price of Pleasure: Pornography, Sexuality, and Relationships " Pornland takes a quantum leap beyond the tired pro-porn vs. Ignore it at your peril."Robin Morgan "Thoroughly researched and forcefully argued, Pornland is a must-read. Gail Dines brilliantly exposes porn's economics, pervasiveness, and impact with scholarship as impeccable as her tone is reasonable.
Dines follows the extensive money trail, uncovering the role of corporate duplicity and greed, while showing how steadily pornography has infiltrated into everyday life from almost cradle to grave.Diane Levin, coauthor of So Sexy, So Soon "We're now so pornography-saturated that our capacity for sexual delight is being brutalized. Bravo to Gail Dines! She exposes a huge problem of our time that few people are willing to confront.
