Manufacturing Freedom offers an ethnographic exploration of two American anti-trafficking organizations that offer vocational training in jewelry production to women migrants in China and Thailand as a path out of sex work. Activists brand this jewelry a "slave-free good" and then sell it to consumers in the United States, generating racialized circuits of commerce and morality centered around promises of freedom from enslavement and redemptive wages for former sex workers-whom these organizations universally label as victims of trafficking. Workers, by contrast, often contest the trafficking label and object to the moral and disciplinary processes that ensnare them in a pernicious global web of anti-trafficking rescue. In this novel study, Elena Shih argues that these anti-trafficking rescue and rehabilitation projects profit off persistent labor abuse of women workers and imagined but savvily marketed narratives of redemption, thereby generating a transnational moral economy of low-wage women's work that obfuscates relations of race, gender, national power, and inequality"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (217-265) and index. 505 00 $g Conclusion : $t Redistribution and possibilities for global justice. $t Business of rehab : ethical consumption, social enterprise, and the myth of vocational training -- $t Manufacturing freedom : racialized redemptive labor and sex work -- $t Bad rehab : house moms, shelters, and maternalist rehabilitation -- $t Trafficking benevolent authoritarianism in China -- $t Vigilante humanitarianism in Thailand -- $t Quitting rehab : the promises and betrayals of freedom -- $g Conclusion : $t Redistribution and possibilities for global justice. 650 0 $a Human trafficking victims $x Services for $z United States. 650 0 $a Rehabilitation centers $z China. 650 0 $a Rehabilitation centers $z Thailand. 650 0 $a Pay equity. 650 0 $a Human trafficking victims $x Abuse of. 650 0 $a Women migrant labor $x Abuse of. 650 0 $a Economics $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 7 $a Economics $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902162 650 7 $a Human trafficking victims $x Services for. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01983858 650 7 $a Pay equity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01055681 650 7 $a Rehabilitation centers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093330 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 651 7 $a Thailand. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205310 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Shih, Elena $t Manufacturing freedom $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2023] $z 9780520976870 $w (DLC) 2022040592 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230919012315.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F1AB473C56B111EEB3013A8641ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
