Despite continued public and legislative concern about sex
trafficking across international borders, the actual lives of the
individuals involved--and, more importantly, the decisions that led
them to sex work--are too often overlooked. With Mobile
Orientations, Nicola Mai shows that, far from being victims of a
system beyond their control, many contemporary sex workers choose
their profession as a means to forge a path toward fulfillment.
Using a bold blend of personal narrative and autoethnography, Mai
provides intimate portrayals of sex workers from sites including
the Balkans, the Maghreb, and West Africa who decided to sell sex
as the means to achieve a better life. Mai explores the contrast
between how migrants understand themselves and their work and how
humanitarian and governmental agencies conceal their stories, often
unwittingly, by addressing them all as helpless victims. The
culmination of two decades of research, Mobile Orientations sheds
new light on the desires and ambitions of migrant sex workers
across the world.
