Summary
"Maneuvering towards subjectivity - an anthropological analysis of young victims of human trafficking in Italy" is a master's thesis in anthropology made by Trine Mygind Korsby at the Institute of Anthropology, University of Copenhagen, Denmark in August 2008. This thesis has been translated into English in December 2010 by Adrienne Mannov. Human trafficking is a growing international concern. It has been given a central position on national and global agendas, however, we only rarely hear the victims' voices or get an insight into their lives. This thesis offer an ethnographic view into the world and conditions of sixteen young trafficking victims into which outsiders are only rarely granted an in-depth insight.
