Susanne Åsman's compelling ethnographic account examines migration for sex work in the Sindhupalchowk district of Nepal. Åsman explores how this migration, known as "Bombay Going," is understood by the locals. With a focus on agency, Åsman 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.

“Through rich ethnography Asman brings us into the world of gendered migration in South Asia with all of its nuances and complexities. A book that challenges received notions of ‘home’ and ‘away’, embodiment, victimhood, and agency, Asman pulls no punches in this critical read that is a much needed intervention in our oversimplified conversations about trafficking, labor, and migration.”
