Siddharth Kara is a tireless chronicler of the human cost of
slavery around the world. He has documented the realities of human
trafficking and forced labor in order to reveal the degrading and
dehumanizing system that strips people of their dignity for the
sake of profit-and to link the suffering of the enslaved to the
day-to-day lives of consumers in the West. In Modern Slavery, Kara
draws on his many years of expertise to demonstrate the scope of
slavery and offer a concrete path to its abolition. From labor
trafficking in the U.S. agricultural sector to sex trafficking in
Nigeria to forced labor in the Thai seafood industry, Kara depicts
the myriad faces and forms of slavery, providing a comprehensive
grounding in the realities of modern-day servitude. Drawing on
sixteen years of field research in more than sixty countries around
the globe-including revelatory interviews with both the enslaved
and their oppressors-Kara sets out the key manifestations of modern
slavery and how it is embedded in global supply chains. Enslavement
offers immense profits at minimal risk through the exploitation of
vulnerable subclasses whose brutalization is tacitly accepted by
the current global economic order. Kara has developed a business
and economic analysis of slavery based on metrics and data that
attest to the scale and functioning of these systems of
exploitation. Beyond this data-driven approach, Modern Slavery
unflinchingly portrays the torments endured by the powerless. This
searing expose documents one of humanity's greatest wrongs and lays
out the framework for a comprehensive plan to eradicate it.
