Few
people view slavery as a contemporary social issue, but rather comprehend it as
an unfortunate institution of the past that was remedied through positive
legislative action. Yet despite a
worldwide spate of emancipation proclamations, parliamentary decrees, and a host
of judicial pronouncements, the ubiquitous institution of slavery persists in
the modern world. Estimates today
suggest that as many as twenty-seven million persons may be the victims of
modern-day slavery or other forms of unfree
labor.
Contemporary
slaves are seemingly invisible people who are generally the most marginalized in
society. Typically women, children,
and migrant workers are those who most readily fall into the trap of modern-day
slavery. Nor is the problem one
that is only limited to the nations of the developing world – slaves can be
found within the cities of modern, industrialized nations where the promise of
opportunity and empowerment are empty promises to the indiscernible subculture
of those who are kept in bondage.
This
path-breaking reference work is designed to explore the shadow world of modern
slavery to bring to light a contemporary social crisis of immense
proportions. The encyclopedia will
feature articles that highlight the individuals and organizations that combat
modern slavery, key concepts that are related to the institution, specific
legislative and judicial actions that have addressed the issue, and country
studies that examine the extent to which contemporary slavery
persists.
SCOPE
This two volume 500,000-word encyclopedia will cover the history of
modern slavery from the late-nineteenth century to the present. Entries will consist of specific
individuals, organizations, incidents, concepts, thematic essays, and country
studies of contemporary slavery.
