Long Synopsis:
Today, millions of people are being held in slavery around the world. From
poverty-stricken countries to affluent American suburbs, slaves toil as
sweatshop workers, sex slaves, migrant workers, and domestic servants. With
expos s by seven former slaves--as well as one slaveholder--from Southeast
Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States, this
groundbreaking collection of harrowing first-hand accounts reveals how slavery
continues to thrive in the twenty-first century. From the memoirs of Micheline,
a Haitian girl coerced into domestic work in Connecticut, to the confessions of
Abdel Nasser, a Mauritanian master turned abolitionist, these stories heighten
awareness of a global human rights crisis that can no longer be ignored.
Comments:
This book has been read through. there are several foreign names, and the
grammar may not be quite correct in all the stories, but it is a great book. I
do have images of the pages if you need one. please contact me at:
juddysbbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx Pictures are labeled with captions. Other pages that
are blank are well blank. Some page numbers need to be inserted. You can
catagorize the book better if you can think of where it should go, I honestly
wasn't sure.
