The author investigates modern slavery which, although illegal, persists in countries such as Thailand, Mauritania, Brazil, Pakistan, India as well as parts of America and Europe. This study includes interviews with slaves, slaveholders and officials and uncovers the economic and social forces that sustain slavery. The author suggests how individuals and governments can combat slavery and descibes successful antislavery actions by international and local organisations.
