(John Stauffer, Harvard University professor of English and American Literature and African American Studies, award-winning author, and one of the world's leading scholars of antislavery movements)
"Modern Slavery is the most riveting exposé I've read in recent years and should forever redefine the phrase 'economic injustice'." (Barbara Ehrenreich, award-winning journalist and bestselling author)
“This book, a window into the world of slavery from ancient history to the modern era, shows the propensity of man to enrich himself by enslaving his brother and justify his actions in the name of gods.” (Jean-Robert Cadet, former child slave and author of Restavec: From Haitian Slave Child to Middle-Class American)
