Download or read book Nobodies written by John Bowe and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2008-08-12 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Americans are shocked to discover that slavery still exists in the United States. Yet 145 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, the CIA estimates that 14,500 to17,000 foreigners are “trafficked” annually into the United States, threatened with violence, and forced to work against their will. Modern people unanimously agree that slavery is abhorrent. How, then, can it be making a reappearance on American soil? Award-winning journalist John Bowe examines how outsourcing, subcontracting, immigration fraud, and the relentless pursuit of “everyday low prices” have created an opportunity for modern slavery to regain a toehold in the American economy. Bowe uses thorough and often dangerous research, exclusive interviews, eyewitness accounts, and rigorous economic analysis to examine three illegal workplaces where employees are literally or virtually enslaved. From rural Florida to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to the U.S. commonwealth of Saipan in the Western Pacific, he documents coercive and forced labor situations that benefit us all, as consumers and stockholders, fattening the profits of dozens of American food and clothing chains, including Wal-Mart, Kroger, McDonald’s, Burger King, PepsiCo, Del Monte, Gap, Target, JCPenney, J. Crew, Polo Ralph Lauren, and others. In this eye-opening book, set against the everyday American landscape of shopping malls, outlet stores, and Happy Meals, Bowe reveals how humankind’s darker urges remain alive and well, lingering in the background of every transaction–and what we can do to overcome them. Praise for Nobodies: “Investigative, immersion reporting at its best . . . Bowe is a master storyteller whose work is finely tuned and fearless.” –USA Today “A brilliant and readable tour of the modern heart of darkness, Nobodies takes a long, hard look at what our democracy is becoming.” –Thomas Frank, author of What’s the Matter with Kansas? “Bowe dramatizes in gripping detail these stolen lives.” –O: The Oprah Magazine “The vividness of Bowe’s local stories might make you think twice before reaching for that cheap fruit or pair of discount socks.” –Condé Nast Portfolio NAMED ONE OF THE TWENTY BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE VILLAGE VOICE

Book Synopsis The Slave Lover by : Charlie “Chawtoma” Davis
Download or read book The Slave Lover written by Charlie “Chawtoma” Davis and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2015-03-16 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When NYPD agent Dajahn Rocmah, along with partner Delfori Bagans, receives a distress-call assistance from 911 one rainy Thursday night, little did he know that he would be led to a woman that was like no other he’d met. Except for the fact that Princess Martins Marelli was involved in a domestic argument with her wealthy estranged husband, she seemed to be your typical bombshell blonde—or so Rocmah thought. Princess is in fact anything but vanilla. She comes from a rich ancestry that began on a farm in Georgia between the white farm owner’s son, Luther Martins II, and a black slave girl named Tamalu, Luther Junior’s friend from childhood. The Slave Lover (Chocolate in the Milk) is a unique love story that spans races and generations, from the Civil War to present-day New York City. It follows the struggles and successes of the Martins family amid their interracial backdrop and the pains and pleasures that go along with it.
