Modern Slavery: A Reference Handbook provides a thorough treatment of the evolving scope, nature, and contexts of modern slavery and a discussion of prevention and abolition efforts in an accessible format for high school and college readers. Modern Slavery: A Reference Handbook addresses essential questions about slavery in its contemporary manifestations.

The book examines the growing epidemic and recent contexts of modern slavery in the United States and throughout the world, and describes in detail what caused it, whom it impacts, and what can be (and is being) done about it.

It also explores the various contributing factors and how governmental and nongovernmental agencies can better engage in prevention and eradication.

The volume opens with chapters providing information on contemporary slavery, followed by a discussion of the causes, consequences, and possible solutions.

The next chapter includes essays from a diverse range of contributors, providing useful perspectives to round out the author's expertise.

The book concludes with a collection of data and documents; an overview of important people, organizations, and resources relating to the issue; a chronology; and a glossary of key terms.
