Reviews
"""All eleven authors deserve overwhelming positive reviews . . . for bringing human rights back into the design of antitrafficking initiatives. Their message is that, even if it takes time, careful thinking, and persistence, the battle against modern slavery can be won.""—Human Rights and Human Welfare ""The authors see solutions to the problem of contemporary slavery as their primary goal, rather than simply description, documentation, or analysis. Scholarship like that carried out in [From Human Trafficking to Human Rights] holds significant promise for human rights advocacy—where human rights law and activism come together.""—Human Rights Review ""The contributors not only manage to tackle a wide range of lingering issues in the anti-trafficking movement but also to challenge, as they had hoped, some of the broadly accepted perspectives on these issues. In doing so, the authors...offer a timely and unique perspective that until now was absent from the current scholarship regarding anti-trafficking efforts.""—Leya Behbahani, Journal of Human Trafficking ""This edited volume brings much needed attention to the understudied issue of human trafficking, including the forms of forced labor migration and sex trafficking. . . . Scholars already familiar with the topic will appreciate the philosophical debates found within the volume.""—Choice"
