{"product_id":"contemporary-slavery-annie-bunting-9780774832434","title":"Contemporary Slavery: Popular Rhetoric and Political Practice","description":"\u003cp\u003eContemporary 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Annie Bunting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774832436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774832434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 1.10d","brand":"Annie Bunting","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086850732287,"sku":"9780774832434","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a5aba09a-5611-420f-be35-4c02489f51ab.jpg?v=1769096951","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contemporary-slavery-annie-bunting-9780774832434","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
