Abstract: "Testimony in 189 deportation cases of pimps provides information on foreign participation in commercial sex in Rio de Janeiro between 1907-30. For the elites, a greatly expanded demand for foreign prostitutes was part of the 'modernization' and 'Europeanization' of the city"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
