My dissertation proposes that in order to understand the complicated meanings that individuals attribute to sex tourism relationships in places like Cuba, we must do away with categories that simplistically focus on hierarchical relationships and one-way exchanges of emotions and resources. Categories such as "sex work" and "prostitution" continue to judge these relationships as "illegitimate" and thereby obscure the ways in which they resemble more "ordinary" and "legitimate" relationships. My framework for studying sex tourism in Cuba is one that includes love and ambiguity in the analysis and thereby refuses to place judgment on these relationships. In a sense, this is a classic anthropological type of analysis since I privilege local categories over the categories from my own culture. My approach, moreover, places close narrative analysis, contradictory and complex power dynamics at the center, instead of clumping worldwide sex tourisms and prostitutions under one umbrella. Equally important in my work, I believe, is the inclusion of a discussion of my fieldwork experiences and the way my relationship to the men I studied affected my writings.

520 $a The bulk of my dissertation entails a close analysis of the relationship between Peter, a middle-aged Canadian tourist, and Salvador, a young Cuban hustler. Although one can identify the important influence of money in their year-long sexual relationship, love and ambiguity play equally important roles as their stories develop. Indeed, I show that many tourists are drawn to Cuba because they specifically seek these ambiguous relationships among exotic others, just as young Cubans often forsake love with locals for the complicated love and hustling relationships they develop with tourists.
