Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The New Slavery is a book written by H. Percy Scott and published in 1914. The book explores the issue of modern-day slavery, which was prevalent at the time in various parts of the world. Scott argues that the practice of slavery had not ended, but had rather evolved into a new form that was just as brutal and exploitative as the old form.The book provides a historical overview of slavery, from its origins in ancient times to the transatlantic slave trade and its eventual abolition. Scott then goes on to describe the new forms of slavery that were emerging in the early 20th century, such as debt bondage, forced labor, and sex trafficking.The author also examines the economic, political, and social factors that contribute to the persistence of slavery, and offers suggestions for how to combat this issue. He emphasizes the importance of international cooperation and the need for governments to take action to protect the rights of vulnerable populations.Overall, The New Slavery is a powerful and thought-provoking book that sheds light on an important social issue that continues to impact millions of people around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
