LYNNE RIENNER PUBLISHERS INC Forced Labor Coercion & Exploitation in the Priv.Econ. by Beate Andrees
Two centuries after the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade, at least 12.3 million people are subjected to modern forms of forced labor - in rich countries, as well as poor ones. The authors of ""Forced Labor"" present state-of-the art research on the manifestations of these slavery-like practices, why they continue to survive, and how they can be eliminated. Their conceptually rich analysis, combined with insightful case studies from Asia, Europe, and Latin America, is a major contribution on an issue of pressing global concern. The book explores the contemporary manifestations of slavery-like labor practices, why they continue to survive, and how they can be eliminated. Foreword - R. Plant. Introduction - the Editors.
