Trafficking of persons (mostly women and children) for commercial
sexual activities and forced labor is one of the fastest growing
areas of international crime. The United Nations estimates that 4
million men, women, and children become victims of international
trafficking each year. Trafficking & the Global Sex Industry
focuses on the international trafficking of women and children for
forced labor and prostitution. This remarkable anthology takes a
broad geographical and economical perspective while also dealing
with the specificities of the socio-political background, poverty,
opportunity structure, legal conditions, the role of the state,
gender structure, and the organization of the trafficking business.
The essays create a link from country to country, demonstrating the
worldwide nature of the problem. Expertly written and well
researched, this collection gives the reader a clearer
understanding of the problem and the actions being taken to combat
it. Trafficking & the Global Sex Industry will have a broad
market for readers on a national and international level,
especially among those interested in political science, women's
studies, international relations, and criminology.

Politics of Children in Latin American Cinema explores the trend of
portraying children and adolescents in a subjective,
adult-constructed point of view in Latin American cinema. This
trend, in which the filmmakers are able to express their own
anxieties while subordinating the child’s, draws new political
implications to these constructions of children’s subjective
character. Chapters in this volume touch on intersectional historic
contexts, such as the Brazilian judicial system, Mexico’s youth
protest, Venezuelan social crisis, the Southern Cone’s
post-dictatorships, and race and gender issues in Peru, Ecuador,
and Argentina to elucidate these implications and how they affect
child agency. Contributors to this book argue for children’s
increased agency in film and in society as they analyze films in
which children have more active roles. These films mirror the shift
toward filmmaking that emphasizes innovative narratives and
aesthetic techniques that allow children to be portrayed as social
commentators, rather than passive figures. Scholars of Latin
American studies, film studies, history, sociology, race studies,
and gender studies will find this book particularly useful.
