Critical Legal Perspectives on Contemporary Slavery: On the Presence of the Past (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789004723818)

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 reader will come to understand the continuities and points of disjuncture between slavery in the Black Atlantic slave trade, historical legacies in the persistence of racial capitalism, and rethink approaches to redress contemporary labour exploitation.
