In the generation that followed, neo-abolitionists looked at the sex industry from a feminist perspective, claiming that workers were victims caught in a patriarchal matrix. Yet both agreed that sex work was a destructive and corrupting force that should be eliminated.\u003c\/p\u003eIn this lucid and fearless volume, five academics and activists convey their vision of prostitution as work, albeit stigmatized and marginalized labour. In chapters that consider the nature of sex work, the legal framework that seeks to control the sex industry, the historical debates over its existence, the spectre of human trafficking, and community-based activism from within the industry, the authors assert the central place of sex workers in discussions about their lives and work. This book opposes discourses that position sex workers as victims without agency.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \/ \u003cem\u003eColette Parent, Chris Bruckert, Patrice Corriveau, Maria Nengeh Mensah, and Louise Toupin\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 The Current Debate on Sex Work \/ \u003cem\u003eColette Parent and Chris Bruckert\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Regulating Sex Work: Between Victimization and Freedom to Choose \/ \u003cem\u003ePatrice Corriveau\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 The \u003cem\u003eWork\u003c\/em\u003e of Sex Work \/ \u003cem\u003eChris Bruckert and Colette Parent\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 The Idea of Community and Collective Action: Reflections on Forum XXX \/ \u003cem\u003eMaria Nengeh Mensah\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Clandestine Migrations by Women and the Risk of Trafficking \/ \u003cem\u003eLouise Toupin\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52742492553496,"sku":"9780774826129","price":19.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/sex-work-rethinking-the-job-respecting-the-workers-paperback-softback-9780774826129","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
