"This groundbreaking book is a major contribution to our
understanding of human trafficking and migration in Cambodia.
Drawing from his interviews with a huge sample of participants,
including incarcerated traffickers, Chenda Keo is in a unique
position to assess popular international claims regarding
trafficking. He demonstrates that anti-trafficking campaigns can do
more harm than good to the people they purport to help."Ronald
Weitzer, George Washington University, USA"The most comprehensive
and in-depth study to date on sex trafficking in Cambodia that
serves as a model for future research efforts in developing
countries, particularly in the Greater Mekong Sub-region. Backed by
rich first-hand data, the book details a culturally nuanced
analysis that challenges the mainstream narrative on sex
traffickers and the sex industry in Cambodia. Amidst the
sensational assertions and hysterical calls for action made by
Western governments, international organizations, and advocacy
groups, Chenda Keo exposes the hegemonic nature of Western
political and cultural practices about sexual morality, raise
fundamental doubts about sex trafficking in Cambodia, and point to
the unintended consequences of the anti-trafficking movement,
funded and championed by foreign government agencies, NGOS, and the
rescue industry."Sheldon Zhang, San Diego State University, USA"In
this fascinating book, Chenda Keo probes into the world of sex
traffickers in Cambodia and shatters many popular claims about
them. The work is original and brave, and it is a must-read for
anyone interested in the reality of sex trafficking."Ko-lin Chin,
Rutgers School of Criminal Justice, USA
"Human Trafficking in Cambodia is a methodologically rigorous,
theoretically-grounded, and well-argued empirical contribution to
the literature on trafficking."
