A great point as far as I can tell. Why can we only care about sex-trafficking? Why do we seem to care more about sex-trafficking than we care about the traffic in labour? Of course, if we start caring about the traffic in labour we might have to start worrying every time we buy a dozen pairs of tube socks for $1. As for Budin? I think her book stinks. Why presume that documentary representations of sacred prostitution are less historically compelling than material artifacts? It's not as if sacred prostitution requires a massive, utterly unique material infrastructure that would be left to the historical record in the form of ruins: sacred prostitutes would have worked within an existing space, they wouldn't have had a temple, marked by purpose-built neon signs.
