Global efforts to combat human trafficking are ubiquitous and
reference particular ideas about unfreedoms, suffering, and rescue.
The discourse has, however, a distinct racialized legacy that is
lodged specifically in fears about "white slavery," women in
prostitution and migration, and the defilement of white womanhood
by the criminal and racialized Other. White Supremacy, Racism and
the Coloniality of Anti-Trafficking centers the legacies of race
and racism in contemporary anti-trafficking work and examines them
in greater detail. A number of recent arguments have suggested that
race and racism are not only visible, but vital, to the success of
contemporary anti- trafficking discourses and movements. The
contributors offer recent scholarship grounded in critical anti-
racist perspectives that reveal the historical and contemporary
racial working of anti- trafficking discourses and practices
globally-and how these intersect with gender, citizenship,
sexuality, caste and class formations, and the global political
economy.

Trafficking and prostitution are widely believed to be synonymous,
and to be leading international crimes. This collection argues
against such sensationalism and advances carefully considered and
grounded alternatives for understanding transnational migrations,
forced labor, sex work, and livelihood strategies under new forms
of globalization. From their long-term engagements as
anti-trafficking advocates, the authors unpack the contemporary
international debate on trafficking. They maintain that rather than
a new 'white slave trade,' we are witnessing today, more broadly,
an increase in the violation of the rights of freedom of movement,
decent employment, and social and economic security. Critical
examinations of state anti-trafficking interventions, including the
U.S.- led War on Trafficking, also reveal links to a broader attack
on undocumented migrants; tribal and aboriginal peoples; poor
women, men, and children; and sex workers. The book sheds new light
on everyday circumstances, popular discourses, and strategies for
survival under twenty-first century economic and political
conditions, with a focus on Asia, but with lessons globally.
Contributors: Natasha Ahmad, Vachararutai Boontinand, Lin Chew,
Melissa Ditmore, John Frederick, Matthew S. Friedman, Josephine Ho,
Jagori, Ratna Kapur, Phil Marshall, Jyoti Sanghera, Susu Thatun.

Presents the personal experiences of sex workers in Asia,

crude stereotypes often employed to characterize those involved in
this expanding industry. It documents national and international
sex workers' movements organized to uphold their legal and human
rights as they struggle to resist marginalization and exploitative
working conditions around the world.

A first of its kind in the English-speaking Caribbean, this
multi-disciplinary collection brings together contributions from a
variety of Caribbean-based and diasporic researchers and activists
about the main methods used in existing feminist research practice.
Comprising 29 chapters organized around 7 main themes - History
& Historiography; Methodologies for Feminist Organizing &
Action Research; Researching Gender; Researching Sexualities;
Researching the Visual & Cultural; Methods for Analysing Talk
& Text; and Reflections on Positionality - this book brings
together canonical texts on Caribbean gender and sexuality research
methods and methodology, recent research on digital cultures and
critical reflections on positionality in fieldwork. The collection
reveals both the embrace of multiple methods by Caribbean
researchers and the limitations that the need to produce detailed
and comprehensive knowledge about gender and sexuality imposes on
the research process. It is an invaluable resource for university
students, for teaching purposes in women, gender and sexuality
studies, and methods courses.
With tourism accounting for approximately thirty percent of the
Caribbean's GDP and twenty-four percent of employment, a link
between the sex trade and the tourism industry has gained recent
attention. Shifts in global production, an increase of disposable
income for pleasure and recreation, and a desire by North Americans
and Europeans for an experience of 'exotic' cultures, are often
claimed to be the cause. This volume explores the connections
between the global economy and sex work, focusing on the
experiences and views of women, men, and children who sell sex.
Apart from attention to sex tourism in Cuba, the Dominican
Republic, Barbados, and Jamaica, the book also examines sex work in
the gold mining industry in the hinterlands of Suriname and Guyana,
and in the entertainment sector in Belize and the Dutch Antilles.
It presents new insights into the Caribbean sex trade and provides
proposals and strategies for addressing the situation in the
twenty-first century.
