Child 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.
