Human trafficking has moved from relative obscurity to a major
area of research, policy and teaching over the past ten years.
Research has sprung from criminology, public policy, women s and
gender studies, sociology, anthropology, and law, but has been
somewhat hindered by the failure of scholars to engage beyond their
own disciplines and favoured methodologies. Recent research has
begun to improve efforts to understand the causes of the problem,
the experiences of victims, policy efforts, and their consequences
in specific cultural and historical contexts.
"
Global Human Trafficking: Critical issues and contexts"
foregrounds recent empirical work on human trafficking from an
interdisciplinary, critical perspective. The collection includes
classroom-friendly features, such as introductory chapters that
provide essential background for understanding the trafficking
literature, textboxes explaining key concepts, discussion questions
for each chapter, and lists of additional resources, including
films, websites, and additional readings for each chapter.
The authors include both eminent and emerging scholars from
around the world, drawn from law, anthropology, criminology,
sociology, cultural studies, and political science and the book
will be useful for undergraduate and graduate courses in these
areas, as well as for scholars interested in trafficking."
