Exploitation From Practice to Theory by Monique Deveaux, published by Bloomsbury Academic on January 31, 2017, is a comprehensive examination of contemporary theoretical discussions surrounding exploitation. This 291-page book delves into the complexities of unjust practices that contribute to and sustain inequalities, moving beyond traditional liberal and Marxian frameworks. Through a series of real-world examples, it addresses critical questions related to the globalization, racialization, and gendering of exploitation.
Readers will find that the chapters in this collection explore various case studies, including organ selling, price gouging, and commercial gestational surrogacy, which challenge conventional understandings of exploitation. The book also considers potential social and economic remedies that arise from these new perspectives. Covering a range of contexts from both developed and developing countries, this edition provides a nuanced look at the intersections of political science, human rights, and social theory.
Official synopsis Publisher
Contemporary theoretical discussions of exploitation are dominated by thinkers in the liberal and Marxian traditions. Exploitation: From Practice to Theory, pushes past these traditional and binary explanations, to focus on unjust practises that both depend on and perpetuate inequalities central to exploitation.
Using real-world examples, the chapters in this collection address key questions, including, in what ways are exploitation practices globalised, racialized and gendered? How do cases of organ selling, price gouging and commercial gestational surrogacy change our understandings of exploitation? What possible social and economic remedies do these new conceptions prescribe?
Case studies in this volume span the globe, dealing with developed and developing countries alike and in a variety of national and transnational contexts.
