The aim of this article is to understand how the corporeality and sexuality of Brazilian women are produced under the hegemonic Eurocentric outlook, as well as examining the subversive capability of prostitutes, who develop strategies to take advantage from a structure that is strongly exclusionist, and which forces these women into a position of vulnerability in Spain. The approach that has been adopted is an intersectional perspective that considers class, gender and race. To achieve this goal, 14 in–depth interviews were conducted with female Brazilian sex workers, aged from 23 to 30, and six interviews with Spanish men aged between 35 and 62, who regular customers of locations where commercial sex activities took place.
