Moving beyond spectacle and protest, Amanda De Lisio draws on extensive interviews with sex workers in Rio de Janeiro, whose stories are often ignored, infantilized, or co-opted to foment moral panic about human trafficking at major sporting events. Their narratives reveal the persistence of state violence and the complex strategies of defiance used by workers to navigate - and sometimes turn to their advantage - the rapid urban transformations driven by mega-events. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRejecting familiar narratives of displacement, De Lisio illuminates everyday acts of endurance and defiance where land reform, urban renewal, and capitalist expansion collide with gendered and racialized bodies.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmanda De Lisio is assistant professor of physical culture, policy, and sustainable development in the School of Kinesiology and Health Science at York University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 270\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 19, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53489981817139,"sku":"9780228027942","price":47.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/S4ifnjOKzK9780228027942.webp?v=1781532183","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/play-naked-puta-economies-against-olympic-dispossession-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
