In his 1999 book, Disposable People, Kevin Bales brought to light the shocking fact of modern slavery and described how, nearly two hundred years after the slave trade was abolished (legal slavery would have to wait another fifty years), global slavery stubbornly persists. In Ending Slavery, Bales again grapples with the struggle to end this ancient evil and presents the ideas and insights that can finally lead to slavery's extinction. Recalling his own involvement in the antislavery movement, he recounts a personal journey in search of the solution and explains how governments and citizens can build a world without slavery. Author: Kevin Bales is President of Free the Slaves, the U.S. sister organization of Britain's Anti-Slavery International. He is Professor Emeritus at Roehampton University in London and is the author of Disposable People: New Slavery in the Global Economy (1999) and Understanding Global Slavery (2005), both from UC Press.
