| 520 | |a Ditmore tells the story of compulsory labor in the American economy, from the earliest indentured servants and enslaved people up to today. She shows that modern trafficking may present in the form of a teenage boy showing up on your doorstep to sell magazine subscriptions. She outlines the major economic sectors in which employees play an essential role in our economy but do not benefit from it. The result is an urgent exposition of the pervasive human trafficking that lies just beneath the surface of the US economy-- from the stories of its survivors. -- adapted from jacket | ||
