| This book is a interdisciplinary study bridging postcolonial literature, in English and Spanish, and sex trafficking, as analyzed through literary theory, anthropology, sociology, history, trauma theory, journalism, and globalization studies. It encompasses postcolonial theory and literature’s aesthetic analysis of sex trafficking together with research from social sciences, psychology, anthropology, and economics with the intention of offering a comprehensive analysis of the topic beyond the type of Orientalist discourse so prevalent in the media. Contents: 1. Introduction 2. James Joyce’s "Eveline" and the Emergence of Global Sex Trafficking in the Early 1900s 3. Sex Trafficking, War, and the Military in Therese Park’s A Gift of the Emperor 4. Sex Trafficking, Development, and the National Government in Mahasweta Devi’s "Douloti the Bountiful" 5.
