Borderline Slavery: Mexico, United States, and the Human Trade

Discussing the multinational networks, global economics, and personal motives that fuel a multibillion dollar trade in human beings as cheap labour, Borderline Slavery suggests future directions for effective policies and law enforcement strategies to prevent the advance of trafficking. As such, it is of interest to both policy makers and scholars across the social sciences working in the fields of migration, exploitation and trafficking.
