Cosmopolitan Sex Workers: Women and Migration in a Global City Description
Review
"Cosmopolitan Sex Workers offers a rare glimpse into the illicit world and shadow economy of transnational sex work. It adds a new twist to our perspective of the villain pimp, illuminating why they cannot always be reduced to a trafficker and illustrating with complexity how they can also be welcome brokers for agentic sellers of sex. This book is an important addition to the literature on intimate labor, women's migration, and gender and globalization." --Rhacel Salazar Parreñas, University of Southern California, author of Illicit Flirtations: Women, Migration, and Sex Trafficking in Tokyo
