dc.description.abstractThe present study deals with the literary representation of the issues of human trafficking and its impact in the lives of human beings. One Among Us by Paige Dearth and A Walk Across the Sun by Corban Addison highlight the different aspects of human trafficking industry wherein sex trafficking become a common source for power, money and source of sexual gratification. Both the novels open before us the hidden realities of trafficking industry that seem to be thriving despite its diabolic nature. The study focuses on analysing the way in which various dimensions of trafficking industry is presented in the novel. It explores the traumatic conditions of the young victims of trafficking, and the destruction it causes in family and social structures. It also tries to analyse the exploitive web of trafficking industry that has an orientation towards sex, power, money and pleasure. By analysing the novels based in India and America, it tries to identify the universal nature of trafficking and the differences in the representations of it in both the novels. While analysing through the lenses of Freud's psychoanalysis theory, it gives the impression that both of these novels depict the space of trafficking world as a world of disoriented human mind where there is a struggle between the Id, Ego and Super Ego. Id, traffickers, seems to be thriving over iii the restrictions of Ego and Super Ego that ultimately leads to the destruction of the whole system. Corban Addison and Paige Dearth expose the human trafficking world as a cancerous growth that can shake the foundations of a peaceful and civilized society.en_US
