Book by 91直播视频anthropologist Alicia Peters released in paperback by the University of Pennsylvania Press

Cover of Responding to Human Trafficking: Sex, Gender, and Culture in the Law

The University of Pennsylvania Press recently added  by Alicia W. Peters, Ph.D., associate professor of anthropology in the Department of Society, Culture and Languages, to a select list of titles published in paperback. The book was originally published in 2015.

Drawing from interviews with social workers and case managers, attorneys, investigators and government administrators as well as trafficked persons, the book examines the ways in which cultural perceptions of sexual exploitation and victimhood inform the drafting, interpretation, and implementation of U.S. anti-trafficking law. It also sheds light on the complex and wide-ranging effects of the law on the victims it was designed to protect.

Responding to Human Trafficking is part of the series.
