Contemporary slavery : popular rhetoric and political practice
€91.95
Contemporary slavery has emerged as a source of fascination and a spur to political mobilization. This volume brings together experts to carefully explore how the language of slavery has been invoked to support a series of government interventions, activist projects, legal instruments, and rhetorical and visual performances. However well-intentioned these interventions might be, they remain subject to a host of limitations and complications. Recent efforts to combat slavery are too often sensationalist, self-serving, and superficial; and end up failing the test of speaking truth to power. Bringing about lasting change will require direct challenges to dominant political and economic interests.
