Tell Me About the Slave Trade (Discovering the World Series)

The slave trade shattered the lives of millions of people. Many of those uprooted from their land and then bought and sold were children. Although slavery was declared a crime against humanity at the Durban World Conference against racism in 2001, such exploitation and trafficking persist. Millions of children continue to live in conditions of domestic or industrial slavery. This book aims to help young people become more aware of the racism behind the tragedy of the slave trade.
