Book
Trafficking harms : critical politics, perspectives and experiences / edited by Katrin Roots, Ann De Shalit and Emily van der Meulen.
"Trafficking Harms revolutionizes thinking about the politics of human trafficking. This one-of-a-kind anthology showcases scholarly research, public advocacy, and first-person narratives to offer bold and original insights by leading activists and scholars. Contributors assess and challenge the impacts of anti-trafficking campaigns, including on migrant, sex working, precarious, and racialized communities. Each chapter dives into contentious debates, including controversial definitions of human trafficking, the application of trafficking law and policy, the conflation of sex work and trafficking, the impacts of anti-trafficking frameworks on racialized communities, debates around "victims" and "traffickers", and much more. The diverse group of academics, legal advocates, frontline activists, and individuals who have been directly impacted by trafficking law and policing, provide a lively and vital perspective on a foremost struggle of our time."-- Provided by publisher.

Amid the proliferating scholarship and often sensational public campaigns, Trafficking Harms offers fresh insights and critical analyses. The collectionâs four thematic areas â Discourses and Representations; Law and Prosecutions; Policing and Surveillance; Migrant Labour Exploitation â examine an array of issues, including the contested definitions of human trafficking, the application of trafficking law and policy, the conflation of sex work and trafficking, the impacts of anti-trafficking frameworks on racialized communities, questions around âvictimsâ and âtraffickersâ and much more. Showcasing a mix of scholarly research, public advocacy and first-person narratives, this book is the first of its kind in Canada. The authors include a diverse group of academics, legal advocates, frontline activists who work with migrant and sex-working communities, individuals who have been charged and/or convicted of trafficking offences and those who are directly impacted by trafficking law and policing, such as domestic and migrant sex workers.
