Opis

While the centuries-long practice of enslavement has taken on a new guise necessary to its profitability in the global economy, what and who it involves has remained remarkably consistent. This book argues that statelessness and enslavement are not aberrations or radical exceptions. They have been and are endemic to Euromodern state systems.
