Ruthless Rhetoric: Child and Youth Prostitution in Brazil.

Rosemberg, Fulvia; Andrade, Leandro Feitosa

Childhood: A Global Journal of Child Research, v6 n1 p113-31 Feb 1999

Examines representations of street children and child and youth prostitution disseminated through literature and by international and Brazilian media during the 1980s and 1990s. Argues that dissemination of images that stigmatize the poor is caused by the need of the media and of modern philanthropy to make an impact on the public. (Author)
