Reviews for Child Slavery Now
"...is a major contribution to the academic understanding of child slavery worldwide." Deidre Horgan in Community Development 'To the student of contemporary slavery and human trafficking, this is an excellent resource. In fact, I am adopting it for my undergraduate class on contemporary slavery and human trafficking.' C. Nana Derby in Journal of Social Policy, Vol 41/1 - 2011 "The issue of modern child slavery is plagued with self-aggrandisement, shoddy research, and sensationalism. Child slavery now is a powerful antidote to this trend. Gary Craig brings together real experts and deep thinkers to carry our understanding of this crime far beyond sad stories and emotional appeals. This book is an intellectual toolbox for liberation. If you are a serious abolitionist you need this book." Dr Kevin Bales, President and Co-Founder, Free the Slaves
