This book challenges every common presumption that exists about the
trafficking of women for the sex trade. It is a detailed account of
an entire population of trafficked Albanian women whose varied
experiences, including selling sex on the streets of France,
clearly demonstrate how much the present discourse about trafficked
women is misplaced and inadequate. The heterogeneity of the women
involved and their relationships with various men is clearly
presented as is the way women actively created a panoptical
surveillance of themselves as a means of self-policing. There is no
artificial divide between women who were deceived and abused and
those who "choose" sex work; in fact the book clearly shows how
peripheral involvement in sex work was to the real agenda of the
women involved. Most of the women described in this book were not
making economic decisions to escape desperate poverty nor were they
the uneducated nave entrapped into sexual slavery. The women's
success in transiting trafficking to achieve their own goals
without the assistance of any outside agency is a testimony to
their resilience and resolve.

Double bill of children's features. 'Marmaduke' (2010) is a part
live action, part CGI-animated family comedy based on the
long-running comic strip. When the Winslow family moves from Kansas
to Orange County, California with their goofy, accident-prone Great
Dane, Marmaduke (voiced by Owen Wilson), the big dog experiences
all kinds of trouble fitting in with his new canine neighbours. The
film also features the voice talents of Emma Stone, William H.
Macy, Sam Elliott, Steve Coogan and Kiefer Sutherland. 'Firehouse
Dog' (2007) follows Rex, Hollywood's top-grossing canine known for
his extreme athletic abilities and diva-like demeanour. His perks
package, rivalling that of any A-list celebrity, includes Kobe
beef, a poodle harem and a diamond collar. Unfortunately an
accident that occurs while Rex is shooting a commercial leads his
handlers to presume he's dead. But Rex is merely lost. Alone,
filthy and unrecognisable in an unfamiliar city, how will Rex deal
with a scenario much more common to dogs than his previous pampered
existence?
