Nancie
Caraway, "To Prevent, Suppress and Punish: Ideology and
the Politics of Human Trafficking"
This
volume will be published in 2005 and germinated from GRC's
2002 conference, "The Human Rights Challenge of Globalization
in US-Asia-Pacific: Trafficking in Persons." Edited by
and with an introduction by Nancie Caraway, fifteen essays
critically examine the implications of the law and national
security anti-trafficking framework and assesses the efficacy
of current intellectual and grass-roots, victim-centered initiatives
amidst the devolution of the anti-trafficking sector. With
an Asian focus, the volume considers reconceptualizations
of the practice of human trafficking in the context of global
migration and capitol flows, alert to the anti-democratic
underside of concepts of"global citizenship" and
protectionist strategies toward victims of all forms of exploited
labor. The book asks whether advances and reforms in human
rights are possible admist the current animosities and politics
of the sector. Contributors include: Saskia Sassen, Kevin
Bales, Noeleen Heyzer, Anne Gallagher, Matthew Friedman, Siriporn
Skrobanek, Vitit Muntarbhorn, Francoise Verges.
