From Trafficking to Terror

A panic surrounds human trafficking and terrorism. The socially constructed war on terror and war on trafficking are inextricably linked through discourses that not only conflate the two, but help perpetuate anti-Muslim sentiments. Using ethnographic data and stories, From Trafficking to Terror juxtaposes lived experience with paradigms, policies, and rescue rhetoric, and presents the need to challenge the trafficking and terror paradigm and rethink approaches to the large scale challenges these discourses have created. This book is ideal for courses on gender, labor, migration, human rights, and globalization.

Pardis Mahdavi, PhD is associate professor of anthropology at Pomona College. Her research interests include gendered labor, migration, sexuality, human rights, youth culture, transnational feminism and public health in the context of changing global and political structures. Her first book, Passionate Uprisings: Irans Sexual Revolution, was published with Stanford University Press in 2008, and her second book, Gridlock: Labor, Migration and Human Trafficking in Dubai, also Stanford University Press, is now available.

Pardis teaches courses on Medical Anthropology, Sociocultural Anthropology, Ethnographic Methods and has designed new courses entitled Sexual Politics of the Middle East and Love, Labor and the Law. She has published in the Journal of Middle East Womens Studies, Encyclopedia of Women in Islamic Cultures, Culture, Health and Sexuality, Social Identities, Comparative Studies of South Asia Africa and the Middle East, Anthropology News, and the Institute for the Study of Islam in the Modern World Review. She has received fellowships and awards from institutions such as the American Council of Learned Societies, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, the National Drug Research Institute, the American Public Health Association, and the Society for Applied Anthropology.

Framing 21st Century Social Issues

The goal of this new, unique Series is to offer readable, teachable thinking frames on todays social problems and social issues by leading scholars. These are available for view on http://routledge.customgateway.com/routledge-social-issues.html.
