Acknowledgments
We are both exceedingly grateful to Jennifer Hammer, our editor at 
New York University (NYU) Press, whose wholehearted enthusiasm for the 
project energized and inspired us as we moved from a rather loosely struc-
tured book proposal to a polished final manuscript. Others at NYU Press 
were of tremendous assistance in bringing this project to fruition, includ-
ing Assistant Editor Gabrielle Begue, Managing Editor Despina Gimbel, and 
Copyeditor Rita Bernhard. Two anonymous reviewers offered helpful feed-
back and constructive criticism that resulted in a more cohesive manuscript. 
This volume initially drew its inspiration from our independent research 
on sex work and public policy, which has grown immeasurably as a result of 
our collaboration with the diverse set of international scholars whose work 
is featured in this volume. A great deal of this collaborative energy stemmed 
from interactions between some of this volume’s contributors at two consec-
utive invited sessions at the Annual Meeting of the American Anthropologi-
.d cal Association. The 2010 session “Gendered Migration and the Global Cir-
e
vre culation of Trafficking Discourse,” sponsored by the Association for Feminist 
se
r sth Anthropology, was co-organized by Tiantian Zheng and Susan Dewey, and 
gir llA afforded the opportunity to receive feedback from Yasmina Katsulis, Denise 
 .sse Brennan, Svati Shah, Nandita Sharma, and Carole Vance. Discussions before 
rP and after our jointly organized 2009 panel session, “Moral Borders and the 
 ytisre Boundaries of Labor: Culture and Commodified Sexualities in the Neoliberal 
vin Era,” sponsored by the Society of Lesbian and Gay Anthropologists, helped 
U
 kro enormously in strengthening our arguments about relationships between sex 
Y
 we workers and the state.
