| Summary |
"Overall, Sex Slaves and Serfs presents a nearly complete picture of human trafficking from the perspective of Immokalee, Florida. The book successfully sheds light on the unknown elements of trafficking through anecdotal evidence, personal observations, and limited official data. Confusing legislation, covert transactions, and misconceptions about victims are presented as common reasons for the public's ignorance and prejudice towards these offenses. To counter this, Erin C. Heil presents the raw experiences of these victims, challenging the stereotypes and preconceived notions that may be held by the public. Sex Slaves and Serfs provides microscopic insight into a crime that is widely prevalent, yet still largely unknown to the general public."--Review |
