Trafficking harms : critical politics, perspectives and experiences.
"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."--Library Bound Incorporated

The farm : a novel / by Ramos, Joanne,author.;
Nestled in New York's Hudson Valley is a luxury retreat boasting every amenity: organic meals, personal fitness trainers, daily massages--and all of it for free. In fact, you're paid big money to stay here--more than you've ever dreamed of. The catch? For nine months, you cannot leave the grounds, your movements are monitored, and you are cut off from your former life while you dedicate yourself to the task of producing the perfect baby. For someone else. Jane, an immigrant from the Philippines, is in desperate search of a better future when she commits to being a "Host" at Golden Oaks--or the Farm, as residents call it. But now pregnant, fragile, consumed with worry for her family, Jane is determined to reconnect with her life outside. Yet she cannot leave the Farm or she will lose the life-changing fee she'll receive on the delivery of her child. Gripping, provocative, heartbreaking, The Farm pushes to the extremes our thinking on motherhood, money, and merit and raises crucial questions about the trade-offs women will make to fortify their futures and the futures of those they love.
