{"product_id":"contemporary-slavery-annie-bunting-9781501718762","title":"Contemporary Slavery: The Rhetoric of Global Human Rights Campaigns","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume brings together a cast of leading experts to carefully explore how the history and iconography of slavery has been invoked to support a series of government interventions, activist projects, legal instruments, and rhetorical performances. However well-intentioned these interventions might be, they nonetheless remain subject to a host of limitations and complications. Recent efforts to combat contemporary slavery are too often sensationalist, self-serving, and superficial and, therefore, end up failing the crucial test of speaking truth to power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe widely held notion that antislavery is one of those rare issues that \"transcends\" politics or ideology is only sustainable because the underlying issues at stake have been constructed and demarcated in a way that minimizes direct challenges to dominant political and economic interests. This must change. By providing an original approach to the underlying issues at stake, \u003ci\u003eContemporary Slavery\u003c\/i\u003e will help readers understand the political practices that have been concealed beneath the popular rhetoric and establishes new conversations between scholars of slavery and trafficking and scholars of human rights and social movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors: \u003cbr\u003eJean Allain, Jonathan Blagbrough, Roy Brooks, Annie Bunting, Austin Choi-Fitzpatrick, Andrew Crane, Rhoda Howard-Hassmann, Fuyuki Kurasawa, Benjamin Lawrance, Joel Quirk, and Darshan Vigneswaran\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Annie Bunting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501718762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501718762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"Annie Bunting","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935202443519,"sku":"9781501718762","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_681ebec1-82a4-4d1f-8a95-b0d8a723ffe3.jpg?v=1681418451","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contemporary-slavery-annie-bunting-9781501718762","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
