- The historical and ethnographic materials undergirding this book (260pp), together with its ambitious analytical framework, were developed during a Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship. Bringing the body of research on phenomena discussed under the rubric of ‘modern slavery’ into informed dialogue with the extensive historical literature on Atlantic World slavery and other past forms of labour servitude, a detailed critique of a range of contemporary actors and discourses is presented – national state policies, NGOs, ‘new abolitionist’ advocacy campaigns, and dominant media representations.
