I: Abstract II: Focusing on the literature on globalisation’s migrants in contemporary Britain, this article examines the forms of spatial seclusion imprisoning these new slaves – be they refugees, asylum seekers or ‘economic migrants’. More specifically, the contribution concentrates on the institutional forms of spatial imprisonment, highlighting their similarities with illegal exploitation. Works like Kay Adshead’s play The Bogus Woman and collections on refugees such as Refugee Tales, Over Land, Over Sea and A Country of Refuge point to the ways in which migrants are brutally detained and at how subtler forms of institutionally-induced detention are disseminated through the country, while proposing counter-actions which aim at reimagining contested spaces. On this final aspect, the article identifies four main strategies: meta-literary, metaphorical, re-imaginative and re-appropriative. Nell’occuparsi della letteratura sui migranti nella Gran Bretagna della globalizzazione contemporanea, questo articolo prende in esame le forme di segregazione spaziale che imprigionano questi nuovi schiavi – siano essi rifugiati, richiedenti asilo o ‘migranti economici’. Nello specifico, il contributo si concentra sulle forme istituzionali degli spazi di detenzione, mettendone in luce le affinità con le forme di sfruttamento illegale. Opere come The Bogus Woman di Kay Adshead e le raccolte sul tema dei rifugiati come Refugee Tales, Over Land, Over Sea e A Country of Refuge mettono all’indice le modalità in cui i migranti vengono brutalmente detenuti e come forme più subdole di detenzione indotte dalle istituzioni siano disseminate nel territorio; allo stesso tempo, queste opere propongono azioni di contrasto che cercano di re-inventare gli spazi in questione. Su questo aspetto conclusivo, l’articolo identifica quattro strategie principali: meta-letteraria, metaforica, re-immaginativa e riappropriativa.II: Focusing on the literature on globalisation’s migrants in contemporary Britain, this article examines the forms of spatial seclusion imprisoning these new slaves – be they refugees, asylum seekers or ‘economic migrants’.

New forms of slavery induced by migratory phenomena have been spreading in Britain since the early 1990s1. In August 2017 the National Crime Agency reported that more than 300 policing operations were underway throughout the country “with cases affecting every 1 The use of the term ‘slavery’ in this context is supported by a substantial bibliography on the topic, and it is based on the United Nations 1982 new definition of slavery: “slavery is any form of dealing with human beings leading to the forced exploitation of their labour” (Anderson 1993: 11).
