This second edition has been thoroughly updated to include events that have occurred in the decade since it was originally published.

"Paying particular attention to rights and the means of economic survival within global and local realities, this edition includes new material outlining recent discourse on sex trafficking, migrant sex work, and sex-worker rights organizing and considers the potential impact of the Robert Picton trial on the practice of sex work. Making Work, Making Trouble is a comprehensive overview of the crucial debates on prostitution."--Jacket.
