Description
The Truth About Modern Slavery by Emily Kenway Modern slavery is a pervasive issue that affects us all, with thousands of people living in exploitation in the UK. The reality is that modern slavery is not a new phenomenon, but rather a complex problem that has been created and sustained by those in power. This book challenges the conventional narratives on modern slavery, revealing how it has been used as a political tool to silence the voices of the most vulnerable. Kenway argues that anti-slavery action often serves as a moral cloak, hiding the true extent of exploitation and oppression. The book exposes how big brands and governments have profited from the exploitation of the poorest workers, while also oppressing sex workers and migrants. By examining the role of the media, rich philanthropists, and our collective failure to question the status quo, Kenway provides a vital critique of the systems that perpetuate modern slavery. Through a critical analysis of the issues surrounding modern slavery, The Truth About Modern Slavery offers a powerful challenge to our understanding of this complex problem.
