Literature review of trafficking in person in Latin America and the Caribbean

Submitted by evan on Tue, 2010/09/14 - 15:38

This report addresses trafficking in persons in Latin America and the Caribbean. The report also recognises that trafficking of children for sexual exploitation is not a homogeneous phenomenon in the region. Children are sexually exploited in a variety of ways, including prostitution, pornography, and the sexual exploitation of child domestic servants. Prostitution also exists in many forms, including what is referred to as “formal” and “informal” forms.

Cultural Geographies of Counter-Diasporic Migration: The Second Generation Returns ‘Home’

Submitted by evan on Tue, 2010/09/14 - 15:22

This paper introduces the notion of ‘counter-diasporic migration’ as the process whereby the second generation relocates to the ancestral homeland – the birthplace of their parents. We review and critically analyse the three key literatures that frame this process – on the second generation, on diasporas and on return migration – and find that all of them say very little about the transnational links and return movements of this migrant generation.
