Public discourses around migrant sex workers are often more confident about what migrant sex workers signify morally but are less clear about who the âmigrantâ is. Based on interviews with immigrant, migrant and racialized sex workers in Vancouver, Canada and Melbourne, Australia, Sex Work, Immigration and Social Difference challenges the âmigrant sex workerâ category by investigating the experiences of women who are often assumed to be âmigrant sex workersâ in Australia and Canada.
Many âmigrant sex workersâ in Melbourne and Vancouver are in fact, naturalized citizens or permanent residents, whose involvement in the sex industry intersects with diverse ideas and experiences of citizenship in Australia and Canada. This book examines how immigrant, migrant and racialized sex workers in Vancouver and Melbourne wield or negotiate ideas of illegality and legality to obtain desired outcomes in their day-to-day work.
