About the Author:
Many people assume slavery was eliminated long ago, yet forced labor continues to provide Western countries with such everyday items as chocolate, coffee, and textiles. Over 150 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, slavery remains widespread, with an estimated 27 million slaves worldwide. This exposé is essential reading for all concerned with human rights and labor standards, both at home and overseas.
Kevin Bales, Ph.D., is president of Free the Slaves, the American sister-organization of Anti-Slavery International, and professor of sociology at University of Surrey Roehampton, London, England.
