Human Trafficking
"Human Trafficking" provides a critical engagement with the key
debates on human trade. It addresses the subject within the broader context of global crime and
the internationalisation of crime control. The book takes a broadly discursive approach and
draws on historical, comparative as well as the latest empirical material to illustrate and
inform the discussion of the major trends in human trafficking. The book helps to develop fresh
theoretical insights into globalisation, exclusion and governance, and identifies a new
research agenda that will ensure the book is of interest to advanced level students as well as
academic scholars.The key features includes: historical, conceptual and methodological
approaches to the examination of humantrafficking; comparisons of specific key regional case
studies including Asia and Eastern Europe; and analysis of how human trafiicking is governed
and controlled.

Sex Trafficking
Kara, a former investment banker and executive, uses theoretical
economics and business analysis to propose measures that could eradicate sex trafficking by
undermining the profitability of the illegal activities associated with the crime. At
considerable personal risk and expense—he is nearly attacked by a gang of pimps in Mumbai—the
author penetrates seedy underworlds and forced labor markets to meet the women and children in
the dungeon of human disgrace in Asia, Europe and the U.S. He highlights ubiquitous and
disturbing trends—the heavy involvement of law enforcement agencies and personnel in
trafficking and slavery—but this book's intentions suffers from Kara's self-professed
rudimentary economic analysis, which often borders on the offensive (a theoretical calculation
of the lifetime value of a sex slave) and an unscientific, ad hoc research model. While the
evidence indicates the urgent need for action—a woman or child is trafficked for sexual
exploitation every 60 seconds—Kara's economic approach fails to shed new light on the human
cost of sex slavery and seems at the best of times beside the point, although the detailed
statistical information he compiles—on everything from the costs of running a brothel in
Queens, N.Y., to massage parlor and bonded labor economics worldwide—is a resource for
researchers in the field. (Jan.)

Not For Sale
Award-winning journalist David Batstone
reveals the story of a new generation of 21st century abolitionists and their heroic campaign
to put an end to human bondage. In his accessible and inspiring book, Batstone carefully
weaves the narratives of activists and those in bondage in a way that not only raises
awareness of the modern-day slave trade, but also serves as a call to action.
With 2007 bringing the 200th
anniversary of the climax of the 19th century abolitionist movement, the world pays tribute to
great visionary figures such as William Wilberforce of the United Kingdom and American Frederick
Douglass for their remarkable strides toward framing slavery as a moral issue that people of good
conscience could not tolerate. This anniversary serves not only as a commemorative date for battles
won against slavery, but also as a reminder that slavery and bondage still persist in the 21st
century. An estimated 27 million people around the globe suffer in situations of forced labor and
commercial sexual exploitation from which they cannot free themselves. Trafficking in people has
become increasingly transnational in scope and highly lucrative. After illegal drug sales and arms
trafficking, human trafficking is today the third most profitable criminal activity in the world,
generating $31 billion annually. As many as half of all those trafficked worldwide for sex and
domestic slavery are children under 18 years of age.

The Slave Next Door: Human Trafficking
and Slavery in America Today
Although most people imagine widespread enslavement only in the
historical past, human trafficking continues to exist today in myriad forms around the world.
In this informative call to action, Bales (Disposable
People), sociologist and president of Free the Slaves,
and Soodalter (Hanging Captain
Gordon), a historian, document routine coercive slave
labor in domestic service, prostitution, farm labor, factories, light industry, prisons and
mining operations. While many sensational cases have been well publicized, the authors
demonstrate that slavery exists in mundane and unexpected forms. Their case studies begin in an
American suburb and traverse the globe to urban China and rural Ghana, returning to Los
Angeles, Calif., and East Orange, N.J., just a few of 100-plus documented cases in the U.S. The
second half of the book focuses on causes and solutions, with a helpful emphasis on how
ordinary individuals can recognize and report coercive situations, creating a humane and
helpful primer on how to sever the links that create and hide human bondage.

The Sacred Bath: An American
Teen's
Story of Modern Day Slavery
- Do you believe human trafficking only occurs in Third World
countries?
- Do you believe that slavery was abolished in the United States
hundreds of years ago?
Author Theresa Flores shares her story of trafficking and slavery
while living in an upper-middle class suburb of Detroit Michigan. At fifteen years of age, she was
drugged, raped and tortured for two long years. Kept in bondage, forced to pay back an impossible
debt. All the while living at home, attempting to keep family safe and attending school during the
day along side of her abusers. Only to be called into ‘service’, late each night, while her
unknowing family slept. Involuntarily involved in a large underground criminal ring, Ms. Flores
endured more as a child than most adults will ever face their entire
lives. In The
Sacred Bath, Ms. Flores
discusses how she healed the wounds of sexual servitude and offers advice to parents and
professionals on preventing this from occurring. She also educates and gives facts on human
trafficking in modern day American.
