A Moral Outrage Brought to Life
|
| This book is one of the most profound narratives of the dark side of globalization that has ever been written. Numbers are not enough to to drive home the reality that Skinner cites at the outset: that there are more slaves in the world today than at any time in history. Each chapter is a self-contained descent into human barbarism in its worst modern form, the slow continuation of the torture of millions around the world under the whip of bondage. Even for places one expects sub-human cruelty (Sudan, India, Cambodia, Haiti), Skinner depicts real human characters and tells their stories as intimately as they could ever be known. But this is also a 21st century book, showing how the perpetrators of slavery adapt and manipulate globalization to keep up their trade from Romania to Dubai to America itself. Skinner's book is every bit as important as those capturing headlines for their examination of the moral outrage of global poverty - and deserves as wide attention and action. |
