dc.description.abstractThis thesis is based on three and one half years of participant observation research conducted while employed as a topless dancer at Rembrandt's Paint Factory in Houston, Texas. A descriptive study is given of topless clubs, topless dancers, and customers who frequent topless clubs. Further, an analysis is made of Sexual Alienation and the Cash Nexus that exists within the club. This manifests itself through mutual exploitation between the customers and the topless dancers. This alienation is found within the social and economic structure of the overall society.
