While these rehabilitation programs promise freedom from enslavement and redemptive wages for former sex workers, such organizations actually propagate a moral economy of low-wage women's work that obfuscates relations of race, gender, national power, and inequality. \u003ci\u003eManufacturing Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e is an ethnographic exploration of two American organizations that offer vocational training in jewelry production to women migrants in China and Thailand as a path out of sex work. In this innovative study, Elena Shih argues that anti-trafficking rescue and rehabilitation projects profit off persistent labor abuse of women workers and imagined but savvily marketed narratives of redemption.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elena Shih\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520379705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520379701\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2023","brand":"Elena Shih","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44130823241983,"sku":"9780520379701","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_48f72120-96c2-4c89-b954-b5238f744dde.jpg?v=1687471478","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/manufacturing-freedom-elena-shih-9780520379701","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
