A must-read for the entire left' -- Molly Smith, co-author, with Juno Mac, of 'Revolting Prostitutes: The Fight for Sex Workers' Rights' (Verso, 2020) 'A thought-provoking and essential read - especially if you believe great progress in tackling 'modern slavery' is imminent. Kenway forces us to reconsider how we even think and talk about exploitation' -- Stuart McDonald, Scottish National Party MP for Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch East 'A much needed and well-researched book' -- The Justice Gap 'Challenging political rhetoric, Kenway makes a convincing case for the need to separate immigration law enforcement from labour inspection and policing' -- Times Literary Supplement 'Incredible' -- Red Handed podcast
