Impure Migration investigates the period from the 1890s until the
1930s, when prostitution was a legal institution in Argentina and
the international community knew its capital city Buenos Aires as
the center of the sex industry. At the same time, pogroms and
anti-Semitic discrimination left thousands of Eastern European
Jewish people displaced, without the resources required to
immigrate. For many Jewish women, participation in prostitution was
one of very few ways they could escape the limited options in their
home countries, and Jewish men facilitate their transit and the
organization of their work and social lives. Instead of
marginalizing this story or reading it as a degrading chapter in
Latin American Jewish history, Impure Migration interrogates a
complicated social landscape to reveal that sex work is in fact a
critical part of the histories of migration, labor, race, and
sexuality.
