| Summary |
This study of sexwork and trafficking in the globalized culture and economy offers a critique of increasingly stringent policing worldwide following the UN protocol against trafficking in persons. Using original data gathered through participatory action research in Thailand and Japan, the author presents a holistic description of a controversial global phenomenon which successfully links personal troubles to larger social issues in our time. The & nbsp;book depicts both temporal and geographical moves of migrant sexworkers and demonstrates their personal developments. & nbsp;Providing a new perspective on & nbsp;migrant sexwork and trafficking, it & nbsp;highlights the grey area between the two without losing & nbsp;sight of womenâ‚‚s agency |
