'A powerful treatise' - Amelia Gentleman, Guardian In 2019, over
10,000 possible victims of slavery were found in the UK. From men
working in Sports Direct warehouses for barely any pay, to teenaged
Vietnamese girls trafficked into small town nail bars, we're told
that modern slavery is all around us, operating in plain sight. But
is this really slavery, and is it even a new phenomenon? Why has
the British Conservative Party called it 'one of the great human
rights issues of our time', when they usually ignore the
exploitation of those at the bottom of the economic pile? The Truth
About Modern Slavery reveals how modern slavery has been created as
a political tool by those in power. It shows how anti-slavery
action acts as a moral cloak, hiding the harms of the 'hostile
environment' towards migrants, legitimising big brands'
exploitation of the poorest workers and oppressing sex workers.
Blaming the media's complicity, rich philanthropists' opportunism
and our collective failure to realise the lies we're being told,
The Truth About Modern Slavery provides a vital challenge to
conventional narratives on modern slavery.
