"What is needed is nothing less than a new abolition movement, led by campaigners as determined as Douglass or Wilberforce. This timely and important book is its rallying call."
The Times
"A concise dismissal of the comforting myth that slavery is a thing of the past."
Aidan McQuade, Director of Slavery International
There are 27 million slaves alive today – more than at any point in history.
Written by the world’s leading experts and campaigners, Modern Slavery: A Beginner’s Guide blends original research with shocking first-hand accounts from slaves themselves around the world to reveal the truth behind one of the worst humanitarian crises facing us today.
Only a handful of slaves are reached and freed each year, but the authors offer hope for the future with a global blueprint that proposes to end slavery in our lifetime.
"A dazzling work of scholarship and protest, a clarion call that will, like the abolitionist literature of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, awaken people to the dehumanizing effects of global capitalism. Bales, Trodd, and Williamson are leading the way in the effort to end modern slavery."
John Stauffer, Harvard University professor of English and American Literature and African American Studies, award-winning author, and one of the world's leading scholars of antislavery movements
"Modern Slavery is the most riveting exposé I've read in recent years and should forever redefine the phrase 'economic injustice'."
Barbara Ehrenreich, award-winning journalist and bestselling author
“This book, a window into the world of slavery from ancient history to the modern era, shows the propensity of man to enrich himself by enslaving his brother and justify his actions in the name of gods.”
Jean-Robert Cadet, former child slave and author of Restavec: From Haitian Slave Child to Middle-Class American
