Understanding Global Slavery

Understanding Global Slavery

Understanding Global Slavery

A Reader

BY KEVIN BALES

Brief Description:
Although slavery is illegal throughout the world, we learned from Kevin Bales's highly praised expos‚, Disposable People: New Slavery in the Global Economy, that more than twenty-seven million people are still trapped in bondage. With this new volume, Bales, the leading authority on modern slavery, looks beyond the specific instances of slavery described in his last book to explore broader themes about slavery's causes, its continuation, and how it might be ended. Written to raise awareness and deepen understanding, and touching again on individual lives around the world, this book tackles head-on one of the most urgent and difficult problems facing us today.
