- Investigating how neo-liberal labour markets, asylum/immigration policy, and restrictive welfare regimes interact to create the conditions in which forced labour prospers this book offers a novel conceptual lens for understanding the multi-layered realities of modern slavery. Drawing on new qualitative data generated with a very ‘hard to reach group’ (30 asylum seekers and refugees in the UK, including undocumented migrants without rights to residence work or welfare and those trafficked into domestic servitude) alongside key informant interviews, the study offers unique critical, and in depth analysis of the complexities of contemporary slavery grounded in the lived experiences of forced migrants.
