Lots of talk of slavery (CBC's Ideas recently aired "Slavery's long shadow: the impact of 200 years of enslavement in Canada"), and that's a good thing. Slavery goes back to time immemorial; it is both a mode of production and a metaphor, and it continues to this day.
If we are to rid ourselves of slavery, take action against slavery, we need to talk about slavery in all its dimensions and manifestations. Talking allows us to see things. Now more than ever, we are living at a time when things need to be seen to be believed.
