520 "Sex worker activists throughout Africa are demanding an
end to the criminalization of sex work and the recognition
of their human rights to safe working conditions, health
and justice services, and lives free from violence and
discrimination. To Live Freely in This World is the first
book to tell the story of the brave activists at the
beating heart of the sex workers' rights movement in
Africa, the newest and most vibrant face of the global sex
workers' rights struggle. African sex worker activists are
proving that communities facing human rights abuses are
not bereft of agency. They're challenging politicians,
religious fundamentalists, and anti-prostitution
advocates; confronting the multiple stigmas that affect
the diverse members of their communities; engaging in
intersectional movement building with similarly
marginalized groups; and participating in the larger
global sex workers' rights struggle in order to determine
their social and political fate. By locating this counter-
narrative in Africa, To Live Freely in This World
challenges disempowering and one-dimensional depictions of
degraded Third World prostitutes and helps fill what has
been a gaping hole in feminist scholarship regarding sex
work in the African context. Based on original fieldwork
in seven African countries, including Botswana, Kenya,
Mauritius, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, and Uganda, Chi
Adanna Mgbako draws on extensive interviews with over 160
African female and male (cisgender and transgender) sex
worker activists, and weaves their voices and experiences
into a fascinating, richly-detailed, and powerful
examination of the history and continuing activism of this
young movement"--Provided by publisher.
