Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This anthology of essays by scholars, activists, and organization leaders uses studies concerning both male and female sex workers of primarily Third World and developing countries to explore the social and economic issues of the industry. The writers first define both the forced and voluntary trafficking of sex in terms of a labor pool that is often migratory and at times even unionized. Issues of race and morality also play a role in the status and legitimacy of sex workers. These writings also highlight the major organizational movements and conferences of sex workers since the 1970s, as well as discussing the effects of AIDS and other health issues. Much of the literature on prostitution centers on Western cultures or single localities in the developing world. Few works have presented as well-rounded a view of prostitution as this volume, although there is Nannette Davis's Prostitution: An International Handbook on Trends, Problems, and Politics (LJ 9/1/93). Recommended for large public and academic libraries.AJenny Lynn Presnell, Miami Univ. Libs., Oxford, OH

Review
These studies provide a wealth of information and data. The analytical chapters that precede and follow them are enlightening.
–The Progressive
A provocative collection of essays on prostitution, by scholars, journalists, and sex workers, with a focus on developing countries along with two essays on Japan....While the authors strongly condem forced labor, they contend that law enforcement should address the question of coercion, not sexual activity itself.
–Foreign Affairs
Few works have presented as well-rounded a view of prostitution as this volume.
–Library Journal
Frankly, I expected this book to be depressing, if informative; it turned out to be exhilarating and educational. The international group of scholars, activists, and sex workers whose voices Kempadoo and Doezema have brought together shows us women as victims and agents of resistance, colonized bodies, and defiant minds, rejecting all received clichés about prostitution, whether the source of the cliché be academic, imperial, or (even) feminist.
–Lillian S. Robinson, co-author Night Market: Sexual Cultures and the Thai Economic Miracle
Global Sex Workers is an important new work on the changing global politics of sex work that will shake up anyone used to thinking of women sex workers solely as victims.
