Editorial: The Presence of the Past: Lessons of history for anti-trafficking work
Open accessAbstract
This issue of the Anti-Trafficking Review is concerned with some of the histories that created, and that continue to shape, both the present-day phenomena discussed under the rubric of trafficking, and the contemporary discourse of trafficking itself. One such history is that of transatlantic slavery. Since the millennium, numerous NGOs have been founded in the US, Australia and Europe with a mission to end what they call ‘modern slavery’. Their campaigns have overlapped with, and played a significant role in shaping, the development of media, NGO, policy and political discourse on human trafficking, which is, according to the antislavery NGO Free the Slaves, ‘the modern day slave trade—the process of enslaving a person’.1 In this discourse, the history of transatlantic slavery is invoked by means of visual as well as textual references in order to emphasise the severity of trafficking (and other phenomena included under the umbrella of ‘modern slavery’) as a human rights violation. The message has been communicated so effectively that although in international law slavery is held to be only one of several possible outcomes of trafficking, in the anti-trafficking rhetoric emanating from national and international policy agencies, as well as NGOs, trafficking is now frequently said to be ‘modern slavery’.2

Antislavery activists draw direct conceptual, rhetorical, and visual parallels between the experiences of enslaved people within the transatlantic system and those of people experiencing human trafficking and 'modern slavery' today.
“Antislavery activists draw direct conceptual, rhetorical, and visual parallels between the experiences of enslaved people within the transatlantic system, and those of people experiencing human trafficking and ' modern slavery ' today (see O ' Connell Davidson 2017, p 1; Kurasawa 2014).”

De jure slavery entails a relationship of domination both between the person enslaved and their enslaver, and also between the person enslaved and the State or other authority.
“De jure slavery then entails a relationship of domination both between the person enslaved and their enslaver, and also between the person enslaved and the State (or other authority).”

As O'Connell Davidson highlights, slavery in the context of de jure slavery is 'more than simply a relationship between individuals', it is a 'status ascribed by the state'.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
