Kreig’s Pick
The Slave Next Door
By: Kevin Bales
HQ 314 .B35 2009
The Slave Next Door brings a very compelling argument against Human Trafficking, or Modern Slavery in America. Not only does it offer many examples of the actual act of slavery but it also provides ways to spot a trafficking victim. Kevin Bales provides insight into one of the biggest problems plaguing American and international society, the ignoring of slavery in communities. He also shows examples of people who have helped slaves escape their masters and convict them of both federal and state crimes. Anyone who believes that slavery is truly abolished and no longer exists within the United States should read The Slave Next Door for a very very big eye opener.
