Abstract
Abstract:This article critically assesses existing state practices on human trafficking in the Caribbean. More specifically, through analysis of empirical data gleaned from semi-structured interviews with fifty stakeholders (government officials and nongovernmental organization representatives) in twelve Caribbean countries, this article assesses the four main contentious areas of state practice with which regional stakeholders are most concerned: the description of "trafficking in persons" as "modern slavery," the illegitimacy of the US TIP Reports, investigations into trafficking in persons, and victim identification and referral. This article presents postcolonial critiques of anti-trafficking law and practice in the foregoing four areas.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Global South Studies focuses on the countries and peoples of the "global south," including those in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and parts of Oceania. The global south is not, however, synonymous with geographic locations in the southern hemisphere. That is, some of these countries and peoples are situated in the northern hemisphere. The journal solicits high-quality, academic papers on a broad range of issues and topics affecting these countries and peoples. Such papers may address questions involving politics, history, economics, culture, social organization, legal systems, agriculture, the environment, global institutions and systems, justice, and more. The journal aims to promote a wider and better understanding of our world and its peoples. The Journal of Global South Studies is the official journal of the Association of Global South Studies.
