Abstract

AbstractThis paper is an introduction containing general reflections on on-going research where the aim is to analyze how in Italy the prostitution of persons coming from countries with a Muslim religion or culture is organized. Given the newness of the subject, presenting a description of the work carried out so far seemed like a suitable starting point with this paper; only after all research has been completed will it be possible to attempt a more significant sociologically closer linked reflection.
