This book presents a political-economic analysis of sex work, followed by a probe into sex workers' movement and agency that the movement is claimed to have obtained for sex workers in the context of Sonagachi in Kolkata, West Bengal. The book initiates a rethinking on sex work beyond the feminist debate on morality and rights, and reveals the faultlines that makes incorporation of the prostitute into the worker-citizen complex always incomplete.
