This ground breaking book presents the first evidence of forced labour among displaced migrants who seek refuge in the UK.



Through a critical engagement with contemporary debates about precarity, unfreedom and socio-legal status, the book explores how asylum and forced labour are linked, and enmeshed in a broader picture of modern slavery produced through globalised working conditions.



Drawing on original evidence generated in fieldwork with refugees and asylum seekers, this is important reading for students and academics in social policy, social geography, sociology, politics, refugee, labour and migration studies, and policy makers and practitioners working to support migrants and tackle forced labour.

Recenzijas

"Precarious Lives shouldn't simply be used to highlight the flaws in the UK immigration system; rather, the book is compelling as a means to improve the system, especially in this globalised society." LSE Review of Books "Precarious Lives breaks new ground by focusing on the working experiences of new and refused asylum seekers as well as trafficked workers in the UK. It exposes the role of hte state in causing and perpetrating modern slavery and makes a powerful demand for action. It should be essential reading for politicians as well as campaigners." Jane Wills, Queen Mary University of London
