BOOK: Slavery Now And ThenAUTHOR: Danny Smith
_____________________
An investigation into modern slavery by the leading human rights authorities of our time in the context of the transatlantic slave trade.
Slavery is illegal in every country on our planet. Yet there are more slaves alive today than all the slaves stolen from Africa over four centuries of the slave trade.Dealt a blow two hundred years ago, slavery has recovered well. Human trafficking thrives as it exploits asylum-seekers and feeds the booming sex industry and the constant demand for cheap labour.
So the fight for freedom continues. But we are half-way to winning by being aware. This book will help all those who want to pray, lobby, or act with intelligence and effectiveness.
