520 "Popular representations of third-world sex workers as sex
slaves and vectors of HIV have spawned abolitionist legal
reforms that are harmful and ineffective, and public
health initiatives that provide only marginal protection
of sex workers' rights. In this book, Prabha Kotiswaran
asks how we might understand sex workers' demands that
they be treated as workers. She contemplates questions of
redistribution through law within the sex industry by
examining the political economies and legal ethnographies
of two archetypical urban sex markets in India. Kotiswaran
conducted in-depth fieldwork among sex workers in
Sonagachi, Kolkata's largest red-light area, and Tirupati,
a temple town in southern India. Providing new insights
into the lives of these women--many of whom are demanding
the respect and legal protection that other workers get--
Kotiswaran builds a persuasive theoretical case for
recognizing these women's sexual labor. Moving beyond
standard feminist discourse on prostitution, she draws on
a critical genealogy of materialist feminism for its
sophisticated vocabulary of female reproductive and sexual
labor, and uses a legal realist approach to show why
criminalization cannot succeed amid the informal social
networks and economic structures of sex markets. Based on
this, Kotiswaran assesses the law's redistributive
potential by analyzing the possible economic consequences
of partial decriminalization, complete decriminalization,
and legalization. She concludes with a theory of sex work
from a postcolonial materialist feminist perspective."--
