Publisher's Description
▼▲“Human trafficking is not an issue of the left or right, blue states or red states, but a great moral tragedy we can unite to stop . . . Not for Sale is a must-read to see how you can join the fight.” —Jim Wallis, author of God’s Politics
“David Batstone is a heroic character.” —Bono
In the revised and updated version of this harrowing yet deeply inspirational true crime exposé, award-winning journalist David Batstone gives the most up-to-date information available on the $31 billion human trafficking epidemic. With profiles of twenty-first century abolitionists, this powerful work of investigative journalism tells readers what they can do to stop the modern slave trade. Like Kevin Bales’ Disposable People and Ending Slavery, or E. Benjamin Skinner’s A Crime So Monstrous, Batstone’s Not for Sale is an informative and necessary manifesto for universal freedom.
What does it take to fight the global slave trade in our time?
- Human Trafficking Exposed: Go inside the $31 billion criminal enterprise with harrowing, real-life stories from the front lines in Thailand, Peru, Europe, and even the United States.
- Modern-Day Abolitionists: Meet heroic, everyday people like Kru Nam and Lucy Borja who risk everything to rescue victims from sex trafficking, bonded labor, and life as a child soldier.
- The Fight Against Forced Labor: Uncover the truth about bonded laborers in Indian rice mills and garment factory workers in California, and learn the strategies used to break their chains.
- A Call to Social Justice: Discover what you can do to join the movement, from smart consumer choices to grassroots activism, and help end the slave trade in our time.
Author Bio
▼▲Editorial Reviews
▼▲Not for Sale not only informs, it challenges each reader to take action. My students were appalled to learn of the prevalence of human trafficking around the world, but this insight inspired many of them to begin working on a local, national, or global level to bring about change. David Batstone will inspire any student. - Stephanie M. Foote, Director, Academic Success Center, University of South Carolina Aiken
David Batstones book Not for Sale breaks my heart and gives me hope; here we read how people are heroically coming forward to fight the modern scourge of slavery. God is in the freedom businesswhether in ancient Egypt or in modern South Africa or anywhere else where there is injustice or oppression. God calls us to continue this great liberation effort, and Batstones book helps us do just that. - Desmond Tutu, author of Made for Goodness
David Batstone is one of the worlds leading abolitionists. Thanks to Batstones Not for Sale campaign, were becoming more aware that slavery is a crime committed in many American towns and cities right now. We all agree that we need to investigate and end networks of human trafficking. So, what else do we need to say-except maybe: buy their guidebook, Not For Sale. - ReadtheSpirit
