Full Description
This edited volume examines contemporary forms of slavery and the law through an historical and comparative lens. The volume consists of a general report and 15 national reports from a wide cross-section of jurisdictions that include Canada, Peru, the Netherlands, Barbados and Ghana. Each chapter provides in-depth engagement with slavery as a global institution in dialogue with slavery in its contemporary forms, including their causes and consequences. The book explores slavery and the Atlantic slave trade, its historical legacies in the persistence of racial capitalism, and points of continuity and disjuncture with contemporary attempts to redress severe labour exploitation in global supply and global care chains.
