Contemporary Slavery
Popular Rhetoric and Political Practice. Law and Society
Synopsis
Contemporary slavery has emerged as a source of fascination and a spur to political mobilization. This volume brings together experts to carefully explore how the language of slavery has been invoked to support a series of government interventions, activist projects, legal instruments, and rhetorical and visual performances. However well-intentioned these interventions might be, they remain subject to a host of limitations and complications. Recent efforts to combat slavery are too often sensationalist, self-serving, and superficial and end up failing the test of speaking truth to power. Bringing about lasting change will require direct challenges to dominant political and economic interests.

What Reviewers Are Saying
Contemporary Slavery is a must-read for every academic, practitioner, and activist working in the field of slavery and human trafficking... Each of the chapters provides a new perspective, and the strongest impact is gained by just this: the holistic, diverse representation of observations, analysis, and research ... this book is an invaluable compilation of thoughtful, nuanced chapters, which build a case for more careful academic engagement with the language of slavery. -- Journal of Human Trafficking * Nandor Kunst & Kurttuli Lingenfelter *
