Siddharth Kara is a tireless chronicler of the human cost of
slavery around the world. He has documented the dark realities of
modern slavery in order to reveal the degrading and dehumanizing
systems that strip 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 astonishing scope of
slavery and offer a concrete path toward its abolition. From labor
trafficking in the U.S. agricultural sector to sex trafficking in
Nigeria to debt bondage in the Southeast Asian construction sector
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 fifty 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. Slavery
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 enormous 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.
