- This book is a culmination of two decades of research. It draws on extensive fieldwork and semistructured interviews with migrants in the sex industry in a variety of origin and destination contexts, including Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Morocco, Romania, Spain, the Netherlands, Tunisia and the United Kingdom. It is highly theoretical and engages with scholarship in English, French, Spanish and Italian. It employs multiple methods, including filmmaking inspired by Jean Rouch’s ethnofictions. In recognition of its complexity, and empirical and theoretical contribution, the book co-won in 2020 the American Sociological Association 'Sociology of Sexualities 2020' Distinguished book award.
