“Thinking how sex functions as a form of trade while tracking its relationship to a host of objects, ideas, and policies across the hemisphere, Jennifer Tyburczy offers new approaches to sexuality studies through a materialist understanding of neoliberalism that accounts for the affective currents that flow across borders. With dazzling wit, self-effacing humor, and suggestive and unexpected theoretical moves, Tyburczy makes us think about sexualized power relations in new ways.” - Juana María Rodríguez, author of Puta Life: Seeing Latinas, Working Sex “The idea that sex can help us understand free trade is hugely provoking. Complicating and queering the concept of trade, Queer Traffic pushes conversations about excessive modes of capitalism and so-called excessive modes of representing, marketing, selling, moving, and consuming sex. This urgent book makes an important intervention in queer studies, American studies, and Mexican studies.” - Laura G. Gutiérrez, author of Performing Mexicanidad: Vendidas y Cabareteras on the Transnational Stage
