Description
Book SynopsisSiddharth Kara demonstrates the scope of modern slavery and its role in global supply chains to offer a concrete path toward its abolition. This searing exposé—including revelatory interviews with both the enslaved and their oppressors—documents one of humanity’s greatest wrongs and lays out the framework to eradicate it.
Trade ReviewThis book provides an overview of the different forms of modern-day slavery, as well as a framework for the eradication of the phenomenon. Siddharth Kara uses case studies to exemplify the cultural norms that perpetuate trafficking and provides an extensive analysis of data through a unique business-model approach. Using a combination of rigorous analysis and anecdotal stories, Kara delves into subfields in modern-day slavery that have rarely been covered -- Jennifer Bryson Clark, coeditor of A Global Handbook on Human Trafficking and Modern Day Slavery
