There Are Twentyseven Million Slaves Alive Today, More Than At Any Point In History, And They Are Found On Every Continent In The World Except Antarctica. To Plead Our Own Cause Contains Ninetyfive Narratives By Slaves And Former Slaves From Around The Globe.Told In The Words Of Slaves Themselves, The Narratives Movingly And Eloquently Chronicle The Horrors Of Contemporary Slavery, The Process Of Becoming Free, And The Challenges Faced By Former Slaves As They Build A Life In Freedom. An Editors' Introduction Lays Out The Historical, Economic, And Political Background To Modern Slavery, The Literary Tradition Of The Slave Narrative, And A Variety Of Ways We Can All Help End Slavery Today. Halting The Contemporary Slave Trade Is One Of The Great Humanrights Issues Of Our Time.
