The text and photographs by Jackie Brenner, a photographer, are from the book Friday Night Grind: Bourbon Street, New Orleans, Distributed by the University of New Mexico Press for Fresco Fine Arts Publications and Shine Media Group.
The market segment for the average reader of The Chronicle of Higher Education:
Voted for John Kerry
Doesn't go to church
Loves Darwinism; hates Intelligent Design
Hates George Bush
Hates business/commerce/filthy lucre
Loves pictures of Nekked Women...
...I made up the last point.
However, this is what the professors in the academy are reading. Are you sure you want your daughters near these guys?

Mr. Yoest,
If you would experience "Friday Night Grind" and not just stop thinking the moment you see the word strippers, you might learn a very sobering lesson. These are women who truly believe that the only way to a some financial security is to enter this very harsh and unforgiving world. This is a documentary that will not tittillate but show what the real world extracts from some of those just trying to survive.
