Opis

Although groups from many different ideologies have embraced policies to end human trafficking, there are still many gaps and unanswered questions. This book provides an insight into the complexity of the phenomenon by addressing two key factors: on the one hand, the scope of globalization involved, particularly with regard to the sex industry and forced labor; and on the other, how vulnerability is a growing cause of human trafficking, which not only is why women and children are primarily affected, but also why some racial and ethnic group are more affected than others. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Intercultural Studies.
