Globalization has been traditionally interpreted as a phenomenon
that takes place at the macro level and is determined by states and
markets. This volume takes a different approach to understanding
globalization, showing how through the global sex trade,
globalization is embodied and enacted by individuals.
Elina Penttinen illustrates how the global sex industry feeds on
complex global flows. Drawing on extensive fieldwork on the
trafficking of Russian and Baltic female sex workers, she
demonstrates how the embodiment and reiteration of globalization on
the bodies of gendered individuals are tied to the larger processes
of globalization. Appadurai's framework of landscapes of
globalization is developed into a framework of shadow sexscapes in
order to show how the global sex industry feeds on complex global
flows and in turn operates as a form of shadow globalization.
Globalization, Prostitution and Sex Trafficking will be of
interest to students and researchers of international relations,
globalization and gender studies.
