| Sumario: | In a transnational, intersectional framework, this book discusses lived experiences of, legal and governmental frameworks affecting and theorizations of mothers and sex work. This is the first collaboration of its kind that is specifically focused on Canada and explores not only what is done to or about sex workers who are mothers under governmental regimes or exploitative traffickers in the context of political and social systems that continue to disempower women in general and mothers in particular but also the agencies of mothers who are sex workers and the mothers of those engaged in sex work. This book seeks to open a space for the study of connections between sex work and mother work. The text provides a venue for telling stories by sex workers who are or were mothers. As such, this collection goes beyond a study of how mothering in the context of sex work is regulated by law and society to look at the agencies and lived experiences of sex workers who are mothers. It also looks at discourses of sex work and motherhood as complementarily regulating the sexuality of women in a way that re-inscribes and maintains a patriarchal social order."-- |
