«
'This book is carefully structured and moves elegantly through a range of diverse subjects, from Chinese cockle-pickers to European sex-trafficking, and media, spanning literature, cinema, theatre and photography.'

‘Deandrea’s main purpose is to expose the network of invisibility and confinement constitutive of new slavery in Britain under conditions of globalization and neoliberal conjuncture while shedding light, at the same time, on its ability to seamlessly infiltrate (and sustain) the everyday structure and logics of ‘respectable’ lives.’

This book is a study of the literature and visual arts concerned with the many and diverse forms of slaveries produced by globalisation in Britain since the early 1990s. Starting from the sociological and political analyses of the issue, it combines postcolonial and Holocaust studies in a twin perspective based on the recurrent images of the ghost and the concentration camp, whose manifold shapes populate today's Britain.

The book will appeal to both students and scholars in English, postcolonial, Holocaust, globalisation and slavery studies. -- .
