Episode: Julietta Hua, “Trafficking Women’s Human Rights” (University of Minnesota Press, 2011)
Description: In Trafficking Women’s Human Rights (University of Minnesota Press, 2011), Julietta Hua analyzes how discourse on human trafficking creates the boundaries of victimhood and thereby restricts concepts of punishment, remedy, and citizenship.
