Recenzii

“It is a beautiful example of interdisciplinary humanities and social sciences scholarship. Davidson’s work should push us to move across disciplinary boundaries to improve the quality and broaden the audience of our work. … it would be a worthwhile addition to any undergraduate- or graduate-level seminar on slavery. … This compelling, persuasive, and confident book does the important work of showing that scholars can bring historical scholarship into conversation with contemporary issues.” (Whitney Stewart, H-Slavery, networks.h-net.org, July, 2017)
“This book is an essential read for anyone who wants to understand the complex discursive histories of the anti-trafficking movement, and it will be of great interest to the readers of Border Criminologies.” (Ilse van Liempt, Border Criminologies, law.ox.ac.uk, January, 2017)
