Poverty, patriarchy and prostitution: A study of the sexual labour of Nepali and Thai women in the sex industry in Asia. - 438 p.

Chair: Neil J. Smelser.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Berkeley, 1998.

This study engages in a detailed analysis of the incorporation of the sexual labour of Nepali and Thai women in the sex industry by focussing on the following aspects; (1) Nature of the sex industry in Asia and the movement of women and girls into it, (2) Socio-economic and cultural dimensions of social change in South Asia and Thailand in the context of globalisation, (3) Socio-historical processes in relation to the production of sexuality and the attendant discourse, (4) Feminisation of international migration and the transnational transfer of reproductive labour, and (5) The growing degradation of women's reproductive labour and the intensifying menialization as well as criminalization of it under the current phase of globalisation.

520 $a This study engages in a detailed analysis of the incorporation of the sexual labour of Nepali and Thai women in the sex industry by focussing on the following aspects; (1) Nature of the sex industry in Asia and the movement of women and girls into it, (2) Socio-economic and cultural dimensions of social change in South Asia and Thailand in the context of globalisation, (3) Socio-historical processes in relation to the production of sexuality and the attendant discourse, (4) Feminisation of international migration and the transnational transfer of reproductive labour, and (5) The growing degradation of women's reproductive labour and the intensifying menialization as well as criminalization of it under the current phase of globalisation.
520 $a This study relies on qualitative data collected and presented in the form of socio-histories or oral narratives of Nepali and Thai women working in the sex trade business. It is argued that on account of the pressure of globalisation, erosion of existing subsistence bases and the attendant immiseration have created a growing pool of younger women workers to be siphoned off into the sex industry. As such, it is argued that the form of prostitution which exists presently in many of the third world countries is quite distinct from the old form. Under this new form, not only has sex trade become a transnational industry but marginalized women are viewed as a resource item for export, and consequently constitute a vital ingredient in the national development of their countries.
520 $a This study engages in a comprehensive analysis of key conceptual constructs such as patriarchy, poverty, prostitution and reproductive labour in order to grasp the multi-causal complexity of the contemporary sex industry. Above all, this study critically challenges the mechanistic narrative of marginalised women's victimization through a vast array of narratives of agency and complexity. Even when the system seeks to undermine the rights and dignity of these women as workers, they refuse to be incarcerated as victims and creatively seek out negotiating spaces to exercise their agency celebrate their humanity.
