Black girl in Paris talks about an upcoming movie in Paris that appears to be the white version of “How Stella got Her Grove Back”.
She also points to this very interesting survey that goes into great detail about female sex tourism. A quick Google search revealed that some of the same thing is happening in some African and Asian countries as well.
…and you though it was just old white men in the game. Anyway, here is that excerpt:
Preliminary analysis reveals that almost a third of the sample (seventy-five women) had engaged in one or more sexual relationships with local men during the course of their holiday. Set against data from surveys on tourists taking holidays in Europe, this finding suggests that single or unaccompanied female tourists to the Caribbean are much more likely to have sex with new sexual partners whilst on holiday (see Clift and Forrest 1999:282). The women who had entered into sexual relationships with local men were not a homogenous group in terms of background characteristics. They ranged in age from girls in their late teens to women in their 60s, though women in the 30–40 age group were the most likely to have had sex with local men. Although only English-speaking women were able to complete the questionnaire, the sample included a cross section of tourists from Europe and North America. Set against statistics from the Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU 1998a and 1998b) on tourist arrivals for the two countries, the sample appears to be reasonably representative in terms of the nationality of tourists.2 In terms of racialised identities, respondents who had entered into sexual relationships with local men more or less mirrored the composition of the sample as a whole,which is to say the vast majority were white.
