- Jineterismo
Jineterismo is a term used to describe an alleged number of illegal or semi-legal economic activities related to
tourism in Cuba . These activities includeprostitution and pimping, as well as other forms of hustling, such as selling black-market and counterfeit goods. The term derives from the Spanish "jinete" meaning horserider. The word "jinetera" means "jockey" in Continental andStandard Spanish , [Cynthia Pope, "The Political Economy of Desire: Geographies of Female Sex Work in Havana, Cuba," Journal of International Women's Studies 6, no. 2 (June 2005): pp.101] but in Cuban slang is a female sex-worker. A "jinetero" is apimp , or a hustler. It is not known whether the source of such knowledge is from vivid imagination or actual first-hand experience.See also
