Description
A comparison of slavery in modern and ancient times, exploring root causes, remedies, and social implications, and including a list of organizations that exist to combat it.
Weaving statistical and narrative information, this volume explores the causes of the practice of slavery and sketches the organizations that exist to battle it. New Slavery compares modern and ancient versions of slavery, demonstrates that globalization is the driving force behind current practice, looks at who is responsible, spotlights the exploiters and the exploited, and, finally, points the way out, citing some present day success stories.
Also included are biographical sketches of modern abolitionists, many of whom risk their lives fighting the slave trade, and testimony from real life slaves.
