The author shows that, far from being victims of a system beyond their control, many contemporary sex workers choose their profession as a means to forge a path toward fulfillment. Using a blend of personal narrative and autoethnography, the author provides portrayals of sex workers from sites including the Balkans, the Maghreb, and West Africa who decided to sell sex as a means to achieve a better life. This book explores the contrast between how migrants understand themselves and their work and how humanitarian and governmental agencies conceal their stories, often unwittingly, by addressing them all as helpless victims. The culmination of two decades of research, this book sheds light on the desires and ambitions of migrant sex workers across the world. 650 0 $a Male prostitutes $z Europe. 650 0 $a Sex workers $z Europe. 650 0 $a Foreign workers $z Europe. 650 0 $a Male prostitution $z Europe. 650 0 $a Sexual orientation $z Europe. 651 0 $a Europe $x Emigration and immigration. 650 0 $a Prostitution $z Europe. 650 0 $a Human trafficking $z Europe. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200505014659.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=45C8E8345D1D11EA9B49BA2197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
