Description
Selling French Sex provides a comprehensive historical analysis of prostitution, trafficking, and sex work in France, tracing developments from the nineteenth century through contemporary times. Elisa Camiscioli examines how prostitution has been regulated, controlled, and contested within French society, while also exploring the significant role of global migrations in shaping the sex trade.
The book investigates the intersection of gender, nationality, and labor practices in the context of sex work. Camiscioli demonstrates how international migration patterns, colonial legacies, and shifting immigration policies have influenced who enters sex work and under what conditions. Through detailed historical research, the author reveals the complex experiences of women in prostitution and trafficking networks, challenging simplistic narratives about victimization and agency.
This work contributes significantly to understanding the political, social, and economic dimensions of sex work while addressing broader questions about citizenship, labor rights, and human mobility in an increasingly globalized world.
