- Description
- Author analyses reports from police and women's activists documents from the turn of the twentieth century with statements of sex trafficking in and from Galicia, an eastern borderland region of the Habsburg Empire. These reports are a response to real and common standards of respectability and maintain imperial standing within the empire and abroad. Author's analysis is guided by perspectives from folklore studies and the anthropological concept of liminality.
