Constructing Human Trafficking
Description
Reviews / Votes
"This book is a must-read for anyone (scholar, practitioner, student) interested in trafficking and sex work. It includes the clearest and most effective analysis of feminist abolitionism that I have read. Lobasz also deftly balances a critical exploration of the contested nature of anti-trafficking discourses with what she calls a 'generous' account of these discourses, so as to thoughtfully engage with audiences that are not already convinced by the critiques." (Meghana V. Nayak, Professor of Political Science, Chair of Women's and Gender Studies, Pace University, USA)
"
Constructing Human Trafficking
will change the way you think about trafficking. With lively prose and fascinating historical detail, Jennifer K. Lobasz narrates the emergence of trafficking as a humanitarian concern, and shows how its depoliticization became the basis of an unlikely alliance between feminists and evangelical Christians. An important book for anyone engaged in the problem of trafficking." (Cara Daggett, Department of Political Science, Virginia Tech, USA)
"
Constructing Human Trafficking
is a unique and singular contribution-it demonstrates that even a concept that seems straightforward like 'human trafficking' has both constructed and contested meanings. Lobasz's discourse analysis is thorough and revealing, and provides crucial insights to any feminist-or any policymaker-interested in taking trafficking seriously." (Laura Sjoberg, Department of Political Science, University of Florida, USA)
