Abstract:
Monique Villa shows us the world of slaves--no longer physically in chains--who walk among us, trapped in a cycle of exploitation. Her moving book, giving voice to survivors of this horrific trade, vividly illustrates dire situations we can do something about. Her call to action outlines concrete steps in order to outlaw and eliminate modern slavery.
