Zusammenfassung
Highly original, the first to provide a critical take on the debate on slavery

This book demands of the academy-and human rights campaigners-a marked shift in direction. It advances the world of modern slavery studies and anti-slavery activism towards understanding

Author Julia O'Connell Davidson is a leading scholar of modern slavery and is regularly approached by the media to comment on issues such as prostitution, trafficking, sex tourism and child prostitution

This is an important and timely publication, with the UK and US currently working towards new bills and foundations to help reduce modern slavery.

Kritik
"It is a beautiful example of interdisciplinary humanities and social sciences scholarship. Davidson's work should push us to move across disciplinary boundaries to improve the quality and broaden the audience of our work. ... it would be a worthwhile addition to any undergraduate- or graduate-level seminar on slavery. ... This compelling, persuasive, and confident book does the important work of showing that scholars can bring historical scholarship into conversation with contemporary issues." (Whitney Stewart, H-Slavery, networks.h-net.org, July, 2017)

"This book is an essential read for anyone who wants to understand the complex discursive histories of the anti-trafficking movement, and it will be of great interest to the readers of Border Criminologies." (Ilse van Liempt, Border Criminologies, law.ox.ac.uk, January, 2017)mehr
