Klappentext This book gives a nuanced picture of sex commerce, recruitment, and the activist programs designed to combat them. The author documents how the anti-trafficking community in Laos operated more on hearsay and assumption than hard evidence, he finds that official anxieties about trafficking often reflect worries about immigration, labor migration, and the cultural and economic dominance of Thailand in the region, and that the common assumption of girls and women forced or duped into prostitution by organized crime is simplistic at best.
