Child prostitution became one of the key concerns of the
international community in the 1990s. World congresses were held,
international and national laws were changed and concern over
"commercially sexually exploited children" rose dramatically.
Rarely, however, were the children who worked as prostitutes
consulted or questioned in this process, and the voices of these
children brought into focus. This book is the first to address the
children directly, to examine their daily lives, their motivations
and their perceptions of what they do. Based on 15 months of
fieldwork in a Thai tourist community that survived through child
prostitution, this book draws on anthropological theories on
childhood and kinship to contextualize the experiences of this
group of Thai child prostitutes and to contrast these with the
stereotypes held of them by those outside their community.
