vii
Incomparable ... brings readers the here-and-now stories of African sex workers who
are fighting for human rights. As Chi Adanna Mgbako reminds us, their struggles for
dignity and respect were born in the anti-colonial and anti-apartheid movements
of earlier times, and are being revitalized through this new century s network of sex
worker activists from around the world.
MELINDA CHATEAUVERT, author of Sex Workers Unite! A History of the Movement
from Stonewall to SlutWalk
To say this is a groundbreaking book is an understatement. Well-written and ele-
gant. ... As one of the world s foremost scholars on sex work in Africa, Mgbako s in-
cisive analysis allows us to explore questions of human rights, consent, and coercion
in the sex work context. This book will change the conversation about sex work in
Africa, and globally, while forcing those who resist sex worker organizing to confront
a movement that has only just begun.
AZIZA AHMED, Northeastern University
An essential contribution to our understanding of how sex workers resist and make
change. The stories Mgbako has gathered ... highlight sex workers own analysis—of
their work, the inequality they face, and their commitment to justice. Journalists, hu-
man rights advocates, and feminists will find a wealth of inspiration here for further
study and solidarity.
MELISSA GIRA GRANT, author of Playing the Whore: The Work of Sex Work
To Live Freely in This World is the first book to tell the story of the brave activists
at the beating heart of the sex workers rights movement in Africa—the newest and
most vibrant participant in the global sex workers rights struggle. African sex worker
activists are challenging anti-prostitution advocates, confronting the multiple stig-
mas that affect the diverse members of their communities, engaging in intersectional
movement building, and participating in the larger global sex workers rights struggle
to determine their own fates.
By locating this countemarrative in Africa, To Live Freely in This World helps fill
what has been a gaping hole in feminist scholarship regarding sex work in the African
context. Based on original fieldwork in seven African countries, Chi Adanna Mgbako
draws on extensive interviews with more than 160 African sex worker activists, weav-
ing their voices and experiences into a fascinating, richly detailed, and powerful ex-
amination of the history and continuing activism of this young movement.
CHI ADANNA MGBAKO is Clinical Professor of Law and Director of the Walter Leitner
International Human Rights Clinic in the Leitner Center for International Law and
Justice at Fordham Law School.
