In this examination of the practical and ethical implications of slave redemption the authors deal with questions such as: Does redeeming slaves actually increase the demand for -and so the number of- slaves? And what about cases where it is far from clear that redemption will improve the material condition or increase the real freedom, of a slave?

What is slavery? What does it mean to be a slave? Why does slavery exist today and why did it exist in the past? What can be done to end it? These are important questions, and this book aims to answers them. Across the world today, more than 40 million persons are living as modern slaves. Their number is equivalent to the enslavement of the entire population of several U.S. states. The plight of these individuals is imposed on them by the existence of modern slavery, a practice otherwise known as human trafficking. Yet slavery is not new to the world and the voices of the past have much to share. At Freedom's Crossroads starts with an exploration of historical slavery in the antebellum United States. It draws upon the wisdom of former slaves such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Ann Jacobs, and Solomon Northup (12 Years A Slave); as well as abolitionists such as Harriet Beecher Stowe (Uncle Tom's Cabin) and Theodore Dwight Weld; and even slavery's past advocates such as Edmund Ruffin and David Christy; to present a single perspective of slavery and its slaves. It then extends its range to incorporate present-day realities, before using what has been learned to challenge some governmental approaches to sex trafficking in prostitution. Two decades have now passed since the Netherlands, Sweden, and New Zealand embarked on a common journey, by different routes, to end human trafficking in their domestic sex trades. The Netherlands adopted a regulatory approach through legalization. Inspired by radical feminist thought, Sweden opted for abolition by criminalizing the buyer of sexual services. New Zealand decriminalized prostitution. The passage of time, and the application of insights into the essence of slavery, now permits the wisdom of their respective policies to be assessed. At Freedom's Crossroads is written for citizen and legislator alike. It is written for those who are students and for those who are teachers. It will be of assistance to those who find themselves struggling amidst the debate over modern slavery and human trafficking, trying to reconcile seemingly irreconcilable claims. It strives to challenge ideas about slaves and their slavery, and to challenge some of the conditions that give rise to both. In as much as it aims to make sense of slavery it strives to empower the reader, and through empowerment it hopes the reader will come to find their own role in efforts to end it.

This book is a historical narrative covering various periods in Sierra Leone’s history from the fifteenth century to the end of its civil war in 2002. It entails the history of Sierra Leone from its days as a slave harbor through to its founding as a home for free slaves, and toward its political independence and civil war. In 1462, the country was discovered by a Portuguese explorer, Pedro de Sintra, who named it Serra Lyoa (Lion Mountains). Sierra Leone later became a lucrative hub for the Transatlantic Slave Trade. At the end of slavery in England, Freetown was selected as a home for the Black Poor, free slaves in England after the Somerset ruling. The Black Poor were joined by the Nova Scotians, American slaves who supported or fought with the British during the American Revolution. The Maroons, rebellious slaves from Jamaica, arrived in 1800. The Recaptives, freed in enforcement of British antislavery laws, were also taken to Freetown. Freetown became a British colony in 1808 and Sierra Leone obtained political independence from Britain in 1961. The development of the country was derailed by the death of its first Prime Minister, Sir Milton Margai, and thirty years after independence the country collapsed into a brutal civil war.

"Many think slavery ended with the demise of the trans-Atlantic trade, but sadly, that's far from true. An estimated 36 million live without dignity or rights and although slavery is illegal in every country, it continues to persist in allas a crime against humanity. Lisa Kristine s indelible images seek to unify humanity and inform the viewer of the tangible humanness of individuals enslaved today. Lisa was invited to the Vatican as a witness to the signing of the Declaration to Eradicate Modern Day Slavery by 2020. When Pope Francis gathered twenty-five of the world's distinguished faith leaders the message was clear slavery is not a political issue it is a crime against humanity, against all people. Her journey sheds light on the need for a global shift from dependence on slave labor, to fair trade labor systems available and active in many parts of the world today. It is not simply a story about slavery, but liberation. In order to create change, we must first visualize what is required to free those enslaved today. [Bound to freedom] focuses on inspiring us to engage in the reality of slavery to make us aware of the depth of its reach and insist we begin to look for solutions across faiths, communities, and the world. The call is for a renewed commitment to cooperate and to empower those enslaved to be seen."--

"None of us is truly free while others remain enslaved. The continuing existence of slavery is one of the greatest tragedies facing our global humanity. Today we finally have the means and increasingly the conviction to end this scourge and to bring millions of slaves to freedom. Read Kevin Bales's practical and inspiring book, and you will discover how our world can be free at last."—Desmond Tutu "Ever since the Emancipation Proclamation, Americans have congratulated themselves on ending slavery once and for all. But did we? Kevin Bales is a powerful and effective voice in pointing out the appalling degree to which servitude, forced labor and outright slavery still exist in today's world, even here. This book is a valuable primer on the persistence of these evils, their intricate links to poverty, corruption and globalization—and what we can do to combat them. He's a modern-day William Lloyd Garrison."—Adam Hochschild, author of Bury the Chains: Prophets and Rebels in the Fight to Free an Empire's Slaves "I know modern slavery from the inside, and since coming to freedom I am committed to end it forever. This book shows us how to make a world where no more childhoods will be stolen and sold as mine was."—Given Kachepa, former U.S. slave, recipient of the Yoshiyama Award "Kevin Bales does not just pontificate from behind a desk. From the charcoal pits of Brazil to the brothels of Thailand, he has seen the victims of modern day slavery. In Ending Slavery, Bales gives us an update on what's happening (and not happening), and a controversial plan to abolish slavery in the 21st century. This is a must read for anyone who wants to learn about the great human rights issue of our times."—Ambassador John Miller, former director of the U.S. State Department's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons
