About this title
A shocking account of how slavery continues to afflict millions around the world today―from children in the carpet trade in Asia, to immigrants forced into prostitution in Europe, to domestic workers in the United States and other Western countries.
· Firsthand accounts from freed slaves and antislavery activists, with extracts from key UN documents on slavery
· Chronology covering slavery from the dawn of civilization to the modern era, focusing especially on slavery over the last 50 years
Many people assume slavery was eliminated long ago, yet forced labor continues to provide Western countries with such everyday items as chocolate, coffee, and textiles. Over 150 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, slavery remains widespread, with an estimated 27 million slaves worldwide. This exposé is essential reading for all concerned with human rights and labor standards, both at home and overseas.
