Bombay Going

Susanne Asman's compelling ethnographic account examines migration for sex work in the Sindhupalchowk district of Nepal. Asman explores how this migration, known as "e;Bombay Going,"e; is understood by the locals. With a focus on agency, Asman investigates how the migrants carve out a space for themselves and create relatedness in the spaces in between, from their homes in rural Nepal to the brothels of Mumbai. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the politics of sex trafficking, gender, migration, or the global south.
