This book is a study of the literature and visual arts concerned
with the many and diverse forms of slaveries produced by
globalisation in Britain since the early 1990s. Starting from the
sociological and political analyses of the issue, it combines
postcolonial and Holocaust studies in a twin perspective based on
the recurrent images of the ghost and the concentration camp, whose
manifold shapes populate today's Britain. Discussions focuses on a
wide range of works: novelists and crime writers (Chris Abani,
Chris Cleave, Marina Lewycka, Ian Rankin, Ruth Rendell), film
directors (Nick Broomfield), photographers (Dana Popa), playwrights
(Clare Bayley, Cora Bissett and Stef Smith, Abi Morgan, Lucy
Kirkwood) and dystopian artists such as Alfonso Cuaron, P. D. James
and Salman Rushdie. The book will appeal to both students and
scholars in English, postcolonial, Holocaust, globalisation and
slavery studies. -- .

to new slaveries, all these fields are invested with new,
contemporary significance. -- .
