Product Description

Review
'Sex at the Margins rips apart distinctions between migrants, service work and sexual labour and reveals the utter complexity of the contemporary sex industry. This book is set to be a trailblazer in the study of sexuality. --Lisa Adkins, Professor of Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London

'In restoring those living on the fringes of western societies to their full humanity, this invigorating book undermines our stereotypes and provides a challenging but unforgettable picture' --Jeffrey Weeks, London South Bank University

4.0 out of 5 stars highly recommended, 18 Oct 2007

By	C. Barbagallo "camille b" (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having read many a book professing to uncover, expose or reveal the 'truth' about trafficking and prostitution, Sex in the Margins stands out and against the mainstream moralistic and rescuing rhetoric of victims and criminals. Addressing the issue of 'trafficking' from a gender, labour and migration perspective, this book provides a thorough account and presents detailed research of the complex issues involved in irregular migrations. And it does so without stripping the subjects involved of their agency and autonomy. I found the writing style extremely accessible and the content thought provoking. Given the current climate in the UK of the ever increasing criminalisation of sex work and irregular migration - this book is timely, well written and a must read for those unconvinced by governmental and NGO attempts to `combat trafficking'.
