I'm putting this book up where the book by Gail Tsukiyama about a Hong Kong Family was. Ms. Tsukiyama's book was about the period between the late 30's and up to probably the late 60's, just before China proper was given Favored Nation Status by Richard Nixon.
Please keep your eyes on the Hong Kong Umbrella Revolution. China said that it was going to leave Hong Kong as it was. But, of course, it isn't.

Nobodies is a blockbuster. Published in 2007, it's been mainly ignored. As Americans, we have a right to know what is happening in our own country, and a duty to change Life for the enslaved people that have been brought here, made to work without pay, and held in this slavery, against their wills. This sordid affair goes well beyond the Central and South American peoples that the press loves to hammer upon.
My blog seems to be the only way I can tell anyone about this book, and all it exposes about modern slavery. There are heavy consequences from not doing something about the practices that it exposes, to us as both a People and as a Nation. We need to act.

I have never heard of this book but I am definitely going to look it up now. The slave trade here in the US is horrid and you are right....people (media) turns a blind eye to it and the general public does not even realize that we have slavery right here in our own Country.
ReplyDeleteIndeed most people don't ask at all about how things could be being made so cheaply with a Made in USA label, and they certainly don't think of something like Orange Juice, either. We are aware of it because, in order to pay off her "debt", before they were married, an ex-co-worker's wife from Vietnam went through this sort of hell in a factory in Los Angeles.
