Trafficking and prostitution are widely believed to be synonymous,
and to be leading international crimes. This collection argues
against such sensationalism and advances carefully considered and
grounded alternatives for understanding transnational migrations,
forced labor, sex work, and livelihood strategies under new forms
of globalization. From their long-term engagements as
anti-trafficking advocates, the authors unpack the contemporary
international debate on trafficking. They maintain that rather than
a new 'white slave trade,' we are witnessing today, more broadly,
an increase in the violation of the rights of freedom of movement,
decent employment, and social and economic security. Critical
examinations of state anti-trafficking interventions, including the
U.S.- led War on Trafficking, also reveal links to a broader attack
on undocumented migrants; tribal and aboriginal peoples; poor
women, men, and children; and sex workers. The book sheds new light
on everyday circumstances, popular discourses, and strategies for
survival under twenty-first century economic and political
conditions, with a focus on Asia, but with lessons globally.
