Child slavery now Summary

Child slavery now: A contemporary reader by Gary Craig (Visiting Professor, Law School, University of Newcastle upon Tyne and University of York)

Most slave trades were abolished during the 19th century yet there remain millions of people in slavery today, amongst them approximately 210 million children in slavery, trafficked, in debt bondage and other forms of forced labour. This groundbreaking book, drawing on experience worldwide, shows how children remain locked in slavery, the ways in which they are exploited and how they can be emancipated. Written for policy and political actors, academics and activists, it reminds us also that all are implicated in modern childhood slavery - as consumers - and need both to understand its causes, and act to stop it.

Child slavery now Reviews

...is a major contribution to the academic understanding of child slavery worldwide. Deidre Horgan in Community Development
'To the student of contemporary slavery and human trafficking, this is an excellent resource. In fact, I am adopting it for my undergraduate class on contemporary slavery and human trafficking.' C. Nana Derby in Journal of Social Policy, Vol 41/1 - 2011
Craig has very successfully created a reader on the issue of contemporary child slavery that is informative and engaging. It is an important contribution to organisations, researchers and educators who need solid research about this complex and hideous contemporary problem. Journal of Intercultural Studies
The issue of modern child slavery is plagued with self-aggrandisement, shoddy research, and sensationalism. Child slavery now is a powerful antidote to this trend. Gary Craig brings together real experts and deep thinkers to carry our understanding of this crime far beyond sad stories and emotional appeals. This book is an intellectual toolbox for liberation. If you are a serious abolitionist you need this book. Dr Kevin Bales, President and Co-Founder, Free the Slaves
