Approaching contemporary slavery through an historic lens: an interdisciplinary perspective

Nelson, Rebecca; Kidd, Alicia

Abstract

This article uses an interdisciplinary approach combining social justice and history to address and offer a response to critiques that argue ‘slavery’ is not an appropriate term for present day cases of extreme exploitation. By analysing the means and modalities through which situations of slavery are established and maintained across various temporal and geographical examples, this article highlights how the practices of the past persist in the present.
