OverviewChild Labour in Global Society is a critical response to the modern educational regime, compulsory schooling and the 'slavery industry' in a globalizing world; to evolving and exploitative notions of 'slavery'; to definitions of 'slavery' in international law; to approaches to 'educational labour', including in international human rights law; and to cultural, common-sense and professional perspectives on 'slavery' and 'educational labour', in the light of which it is arguable that children's 'slave labour' in modern and modernizing societies is grossly under-estimated and otherwise greatly, if conveniently, misrepresented.

Table of ContentsReviews[this] thesis absolutely deserves to be widely read beyond academic circles. The coercive element of schooling is almost entirely swept under the carpet, but it is certainly perceived as slavery by some children who can't perform as required, especially working class boys, and probably a high proportion of children in care.
