Rezensionen

'This book offers a trenchant - and utterly necessary - critique of contemporary anti-trafficking efforts, exposing the racist and neo-colonialist underpinnings of mainstream and even self-styled "critical" approaches to addressing severe exploitation in our global economy. By providing a platform for anti-racist scholars - and more importantly, those who are racialized, colonized, and marginalized by anti-trafficking interventions - to voice their concerns, this volume humbles and challenges us to do and think better. This should be required reading for any academic, activist, or policy-maker who aspires to help rid the world of "modern-day slavery."'

Janie Chuang, American University - Washington College of Law

'This illuminating volume puts to rest any lingering doubt that racism is integral to the history and advancement of coloniality and global capitalism-not just in the case of human trafficking, but equally in measures designed to fight trafficking. A much-needed intervention at the intersection of global migration, class, and sex/gender.'

Ilan Kapoor, York University, Toronto, and author of Confronting Desire: Psychoanalysis and International Development

'White Supremacy, Racism and the Coloniality of Anti-Trafficking is a bold and imaginative project. The editors of the book, Kamala Kempadoo and Elena Shih, have brought together contributors that dig deeper, and go beyond the smokescreen of 'rescue' that dominant anti-trafficking campaigners with more resources convey on our TV screens.

'For those who seek a better understanding of studying the methodologies and responses to human trafficking, this book is worth reading.'

Kwame Nimako, Founder and Director, Black Europe Summer School, Amsterdam

'This is an important collection that sets the framework for how we understand human trafficking. It provides a sweeping overview of anti-trafficking campaigns across the globe as it
definitively shows how racism undergirds these efforts resulting in criminalization and exclusion.'

Rhacel Salazar Parreñas, Florence Everline Professor of Sociology and Professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies, University of Southern California

This robust tapestry of works from an interdisciplinary body of authors is a required reading for any person interested in contemporary debates on human trafficking, how this phenomenon has been historically conceptualized, and the impact that anti-trafficking measures have had on particular groups.

Carlos Iglesias Vergara, Lancaster University Law School, UK
