Ending Slavery

In his 1999 book, "Disposable People," Kevin Bales brought to light the shocking fact of modern slavery and described how, nearly two hundred years after the slave trade was abolished (legal slavery would have to wait another fifty years), global slavery stubbornly persists. In "Ending Slavery," Bales again grapples with the struggle to end this ancient evil and presents the ideas and insights that can finally lead to slavery's extinction. Recalling his own involvement in the anti-slavery movement, he recounts a personal journey in search of the solution and explains how governments and citizens can build a world without slavery.
