| 520 | |a An ethnography of women in the city of Mumbai who look for work at nakas, street corners where day laborers congregate and wait to be hired for construction jobs.

Shah argues that sex work should be seen in relation to other structural inequities affecting these women's lives, such as threats from the police and lack of access to clean water. | ||
