Campaigns against prostitution of young people in the United States
have surged and ebbed multiple times over the last fifty years.
Fighting the US Youth Sex Trade: Gender, Race, and Politics
examines how politically and ideologically diverse activists joined
together to change perceptions and public policies on youth
involvement in the sex trade over time, reframing 'juvenile
prostitution' of the 1970s as 'commercial sexual exploitation of
children' in the 1990s, and then as 'domestic minor sex
trafficking' in the 2000s. Based on organizational archives and
interviews with activists, Baker shows that these campaigns were
fundamentally shaped by the politics of gender, race and class, and
global anti-trafficking campaigns. The author argues that the very
frames that have made these movements so successful in achieving
new laws and programs for youth have limited their ability to
achieve systematic reforms that could decrease youth vulnerability
to involvement in the sex trade.
