Is Modern Day Slavery a Private Act or a Public System of Oppression?

Date

2017

Authors

Maria L. Ontiveros

Abstract

"The government focuses on trafficking as the definitive form of
modern day slavery. In doing so, it portrays modern day slavery as a private
act with identifiable wrongdoers and views the Thirteenth Amendment
through the lens of forced labor. Workers’ advocates, on the other
hand, portray modern day slavery as a systemic form of oppression, supported
by governmental policies on immigration and occupational exclusions.
These groups focus on the Thirteenth Amendment through the lens
of class. A historical analysis suggests that the proper approach views the
Thirteenth Amendment through the lens of both class and labor."
