Having spent nearly a decade following the lives of formerly trafficked men and women, Denise Brennan recounts in close detail their flight from their abusers and their courageous efforts to rebuild their lives. At once scholarly and accessible, her book links these firsthand accounts to global economic inequities and under-regulated and unprotected workplaces that routinely exploit migrant laborers in the United States. Brennan contends that today's punitive immigration policies undermine efforts to fight trafficking. While many believe trafficking happens only in the sex trade, Brennan shows that across low-wage labor sectors--in fields, in factories, and on construction sites--widespread exploitation can lead to and conceal forced labor. Life Interrupted is a riveting account of life in and after trafficking and a forceful call for meaningful immigration and labor reform.

Der Klimawandel, das Artensterben, globale Migrationsbewegungen und zunehmende politische Gewalt zeugen von den multiplen Krisen des Anthropozäns. Diese Krisenhaftigkeit macht Ungewissheit mehr denn je zu einer Grundbedingung des Zusammenlebens und stellt sowohl bestehende Mensch-Natur-Verhältnisse als auch unsere Vorstellung von Zukunft als linearer Fortschritt grundlegend in Frage. Dieses Buch versammelt Beiträge, die sich aus einer praxistheoretischen Perspektive mit dem Spannungsfeld von umkämpften Zukünften und Ungewissheit vor dem Hintergrund der Allgegenwärtigkeit sozial-ökologischer Krisen auseinandersetzen.

"In the Pacific, as elsewhere, Indigenous communities live with the consequences of environmental mismanagement and over-exploitation but rarely benefit from the short-term economic profits such actions may generate within the global system. National and international policy frameworks ultimately rely on local community assent. Without effective local participation and partnership, these extremely imposed frameworks miss out on millennia of local observation and understanding and seldom deliver viable and sustained environmental, cultural and economic benefits at the local level. This collection argues that environmental sustainability, indigenous political empowerment and economic viability will succeed only by taking account of distinct local contexts and cultures. In this regard, these Pacific Indigenous case studies offer 'islands of hope' for all communities marginalised by increasingly intrusive--and increasingly rapid--technological changes and by global dietary, economic, political and military forces with whom they have no direct contact or influence." - taken from publisher website.
