Abstract:

"Two centuries after the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade, at least 12.3 million people are subjected to modem forms of forced labor - in rich countries, as well as poor ones. The authors of Forced Labor present state-of-the-art research on the manifestations of these slavery-like practices, why they continue to survive, and how they can be eliminated. Their conceptually rich analysis, combined with insightful case studies from Asia, Europe, and Latin America, is a major contribution on an issue of pressing global concern."--BOOK JACKET.
