Product Information
Street Corner Secrets challenges widespread notions of sex work in India by examining solicitation in three spaces within the city of Mumbai that are seldom placed within the same analytic frame--brothels, streets, and public day-wage labor markets ( nakas ), where sexual commerce may be solicited discretely alongside other income-generating activities. Focusing on women who migrated to Mumbai from rural, economically underdeveloped areas within India, Svati P. Shah argues that selling sexual services is one of a number of ways women working as laborers may earn a living, demonstrating that sex work, like day labor, is a part of India's vast informal economy. Here, various means of earning--legitimized or stigmatized, legal or illegal--overlap or exist in close proximity to one another, shaping a narrow field of livelihood options that women navigate daily. In the course of this rich ethnography, Shah discusses policing practices, migrants' access to housing and water, the idea of public space, critiques of states and citizenship, and the discursive location of violence within debates on sexual commerce. Throughout, the book analyzes the epistemology of prostitution, and the silences and secrets that constitute the discourse of sexual commerce on Mumbai's streets.

Reviews
"Overall, this book's ethnography makes a vibrant contribution to urban anthropology. Crafting an understanding of sexual labour that reflects the intricacies of rural-urban migration, the book sheds light on the management of knowledge around sex work, from secrecy to the rehabilitation of 'rescued' prostitutes, and shows how spaces occupied by women sex workers have multiple uses and meanings in Mumbai's contested urban landscape." , Street Corner Secrets is a nuanced ethnographic exploration of lives of poor migrant women who are part of the urban informal economy in the Indian metropolis of Mumbai.... [T]his book is a significant contribution to making sense of the place of sex work in the lives of poor migrant women in urban India., Street Corner Secrets is a compelling exploration of the intersections between space, society, and sex work. It is a thorough and fascinating text for readers who are interested in topics that range from the political economies of space, to the precariousness of informal labor, to debates over sexual commerce. . . . [The] clear, accessible style is appropriate for newcomers and seasoned scholars alike. Svati Shah's reflexive ethnography is engaged, feminist anthropology at its best., Based on critical ethnography, archival research, and discourse analysis, Svati Shah makes an important intervention in the ongoing feminist debates on sex work... Shah provides in this book... a much needed focus on the political economy of sexual commerce., Street Corner Secrets offers a window into the narrow field of livelihood options that poor, migrant women navigate in urban India and, importantly, provides a much-needed model for ending the analytic exceptionalism of sex work., In this powerful ethnography, Svati P. Shah attends to the practices of everyday life, the political economy of space, and more generally to a methodology that does not just give lip service to ending the analytic isolation of sex work but instead models an extraordinary form of critical and reflexive ethnography. This is a critical contribution to scholarship on labor and contemporary political and market transformation., Within activist circles, global feminist discourse, and academic conversations surrounding gender and agency, sex work has often been framed as an exceptional space of disempowerment, trafficking, and exploitation. Svati P. Shah's beautifully engaged ethnography, Street Corner Secrets , challenges this narrative by attending to the material landscape of rural labor migration to Mumbai....This text will appeal to scholars in anthropology, sociology, gender and sexuality studies, labor studies, urban studies, human rights, and South Asia studies, as well as upper-division undergraduate and graduate courses invested in similar disciplines., I learned a tremendous amount from Street Corner Secrets . Svati P. Shah thoughtfully and passionately lays out the struggles poor women face every day and their creative attempts to survive and move forward. Her concern about and respect for the women she meets shines through on every page. This is the best of engaged anthropology. It will become a classic on gendered labor, sexual labor, and the precarity of informal work., Svati P. Shah's new book Street Corner Secrets makes an important contribution to ongoing debates around sex work in India.... Multi-sited urban ethnography alongside meticulous participant observation, provides a fascinating insight into Shah's participants.
