Nobodies: Modern American Slave Labor and the Dark Side of the New Global Economy

This was the most boring human trafficking book I've read (and I've read about 30). Although the background information was nice regarding the history of areas and people for each account (which there were three of) I don't think it focused enough on the hard labor issues as it could have. He was a bit of a rambler to me without being interesting. It is the first book on the subject matter that could not hold my attention to wanting to know more. It did however do a good job of showing how ignorant people are to calling things slavery when they are, and recognizing when it exists in the U.S.
