The Law and Slavery sets out the articles, book reviews and case notes by Professor Jean Allain which led to the ground breaking exploration of forced labour, servitudes, slavery, slave trade, and trafficking in his 2013 Slavery in International Law: Of Human Exploitation and Trafficking (MNP).
This collection brings together Professor Allain’s considerations of the evolution of legal abolition internationally, his critique of the then status quo in the area of slavery and the law, and goes on to develop the foundations of a legal understanding of various servitudes and slavery based on his archival research and legal analysis.
Professor Allain’s research has transformed the landscape of how we understand contemporary slavery and those other servitudes which constitute human exploitation.
