Modern Slavery by Julia O'connell Davidson

Modern Slavery by Julia O'connell Davidson

Providing a unique critical perspective to debates on slavery, this book brings the literature on transatlantic slavery into dialogue with research on informal sector labour, child labour, migration, debt, prisoners, and sex work in the contemporary world in order to challenge popular and policy discourse on modern slavery.

“It is a beautiful example of interdisciplinary humanities and social sciences scholarshipDavidson’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)
