This volume brings together a cast of leading experts to carefully
explore how the history and iconography of slavery has been invoked
to support a series of government interventions, activist projects,
legal instruments, and rhetorical performances. However
well-intentioned these interventions might be, they nonetheless
remain subject to a host of limitations and complications. Recent
efforts to combat contemporary slavery are too often
sensationalist, self-serving, and superficial and, therefore, end
up failing the crucial test of speaking truth to power. The widely
held notion that antislavery is one of those rare issues that
"transcends" politics or ideology is only sustainable because the
underlying issues at stake have been constructed and demarcated in
a way that minimizes direct challenges to dominant political and
economic interests. This must change. By providing an original
approach to the underlying issues at stake, Contemporary Slavery
will help readers understand the political practices that have been
concealed beneath the popular rhetoric and establishes new
conversations between scholars of slavery and trafficking and
scholars of human rights and social movements. Contributors: Jean
Allain, Jonathan Blagbrough, Roy Brooks, Annie Bunting, Austin
Choi-Fitzpatrick, Andrew Crane, Rhoda Howard-Hassmann, Fuyuki
Kurasawa, Benjamin Lawrance, Joel Quirk, and Darshan Vigneswaran
