The Return of the Slave Master: Popular Authoritarianism, Modern Slavery, and the Making of Black Criminality in Contemporary Britain
Popular ideas of crime victimhood have been bound up with imagery of Black criminality. Against this backdrop, the application of Britain’s “modern slavery” policies and law to young people’s involvement in the street-level economy of heroin and cocaine—dubbed county lines—appears as a departure from entrenched forms of punitivism in British criminal justice policy: now, working-class and minoritized boys and young men are discovered as victims, …
Corruption talk' and the politics of class in 21st century Britain
Scholars have diagnosed widespread class disidentification among working-class citizens in contemporary Britain despite high and sustained levels of inequality. Everyday narrations in working-class communities, however, reveal deeply classed accounts of politics and society, even if not expressed in the formal idiom of class. Across our field sites, practices of corruption talk were rife and aided citizens in making sense of their experiences of …
From Criminals to Slaves: Modern Slavery,” Drug Trafficking, and the Cultural Politics of Victimhood in Postcolonial Britain
At a time when Black Lives Matter has brought the legacies of transatlantic slavery to the global headlines, the British state has discovered slavery of a different kind: the evils of "modern slavery."

This is nowhere more evident than in the case of county lines, the name given to the street-level drug economy of heroin and crack cocaine th…
Everyday Authoritarianism: Class and Coercion on Housing Estates in Neoliberal Britain
In Britain, especially in the 2010s, neoliberal reform involved an extension of legal coercion into the domestic and community lives of marginalized citizens. On two postindustrial housing estates in Britain, working-class residents experience this "everyday authoritarianism" in areas that the liberal state typically constructs as private and purports to leave alone: the home and the intimate relations that frame it. Residents engage this legal c…
Personalizing the State: An Anthropology of Law, Politics, and Welfare in Austerity Britain
Liberal democracy appears in crisis. From the rise of ‘law and order’ and ever tougher forms of means-testing under ‘austerity politics’ to the outcome of Britain’s referendum on leaving the EU, commentators have argued over why democracy has taken an illiberal turn. This book shifts the focus from the ‘why’ to the ‘how’ and the ‘what’: to how citizens experience government in the first place and what democracy means to them. Based on long-term e…
