Summary:

This book is an edited reader that not only discusses the myriad of types of human trafficking, but also the diversity of survivors' identities and heightened risk of trafficking victimization. The reader furthers the knowledge base on human trafficking by exposing the various ways the human body is commodified, and providing an additional layer of nuance in the discussion of identity-based oppression, structural disadvantage, and heightened trafficking risks. This edited volume brings together experts from multi-disciplinary perspectives and backgrounds to discuss the various types of human trafficking as well as the myriad of victim identities.
