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 exposés 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.

D.Thoroughly enjoyed from cover to cover!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. We love this bookBy Betsy CWe love this book! We homeschool and are reading a series which mentions The Oregon Trail and Lewis and Clark. I found this book used on and our kids ages 4-10 are loving it! They've been so busy enjoying the "artifacts" that we haven't even started the actual reading. Highly recommend for hands on learners.
