Summary:

While young people once policed as 'gang members' are now framed as modern slaves, this supposed progressive shift revives colonial logics, reinforces state control, and deepens inequalities in the UK. Drugs, Race, and the Politics of Modern Slavery Law reveals how the fight against 'modern slavery' harms the communities it claims to protect. ^.
