Trafficking Harms

While critiques of anti-trafficking have circulated for several decades, this collection shines a much-needed spotlight on Canada and brings together work of leading scholars in the field. Based on empirical research with, especially, sex workers, migrant workers, and Black, Indigenous, and racialized communities, it presents powerful details about the harms these populations experience due to anti-trafficking interventions and representations. It is a timely and persuasive collection - a must-read for any student, researcher or activist concerned with social justice.--Kamala Kempadoo, Professor Emerita, York University. Co-editor of White Supremacy, Racism and the Coloniality of Anti-Trafficking Trafficking Harms provides a long-overdue critical assessment of Canada's dominant anti-trafficking approaches. What makes the volume particularly valuable is that it features stories of people with first-hand experience of anti-trafficking responses. The book should be read not only by academics and practitioners but also by decision-makers who are in a position to reduce the harms of anti-trafficking policies and practices in Canada.--Borislav Gerasimov, Editor, Anti-Trafficking Review
