Exploring the impact of globalization since the early 1990s, this book examines literary and visual representations of slavery in Britain. It analyzes a diverse array of works, starting with Ruth Rendell's influential crime novel "Simisola" and extending to various authors who highlighted the issue of modern slavery in the early 2000s. The study sheds light on how these narratives reflect societal changes and raise awareness of contemporary forms of exploitation.
