Fight and justice against slavery in the United States and other parts of the world is the main focus area of David Batstone’s “Not for Sale.” Words used by David Batstone’s in his book feel such that author have live experience of the pain and tumor they had suffered in the slavery even such that author feel that not even they are facing social issue but also facing some personal problem. Its not about such like a good story that we had read and just clapping over it moreover waiting for any awards to be announced for this moreover it can grow pain in your heart for how slavery hazardous for humanity . Batstone skillfully networks together the different abolitionist efforts such as International Justice Mission and Free the Slaves, showing that this is a joint effort that needs more energy. I think author want to burn the heart of everyone and he wants that everybody should came up and fight against slavery. He writes with passion and high expectations as he challenges readers to become abolitionists, a vocation that he believes still continues. This book tells stories of college students who have made successful efforts towards abolition In my opinion David Batstone’s “Not for Sale.” Can burn fire in your mind and soul and you will be ready to move against slavery while you read children soldiers in Uganda of little girls being enslaved, of women continually tricked into prostitution.
According to David Batstone professor of ethics in the department of theology and religious studies at the University of San Francisco, executive editor of Sojourners nd author of the "America's Ethics Guru" column for USA Today Weekend , there are 27 million slaves are in the world and they are want to live freely. According to David Batstone children to teenagers and man to woman person of all ages are forced to toil against their wills in rug rooms, brothels, rock quarries, factories, and armies. These unfortunate souls are bought, sold, or forced across the world's borders to work for the personal grain of those who subjugate them. If they want to be escaped or even they disorder something more over person who is the owner of the slave find that my slave is not useful for us then slave must have lost have their lives . According to the author in the modern-day near about in the 150 countries slavery exist.
Award-winning journalist David Batstone reveals the story of a new generation of 21st century abolitionists and their heroic campaign to put an end to human bondage. In his accessible and inspiring book "Not For Sale", Batstone carefully weaves the narratives of activists and those in bondage in a way that not only raises awareness of the modern-day slave trade, but also serves as a call to action. With 2007 bringing the 200th anniversary of the climax of the 19th century abolitionist movement, the world pays tribute to great visionary figures such as William Wilberforce of the United Kingdom and American Frederick Douglass for their remarkable strides toward framing slavery as a moral issue that people of good conscience could not tolerate. This anniversary serves not only as a commemorative date for battles won against slavery, but also as a reminder that slavery and bondage still persist in the 21st century. An estimated 27 million people around the globe suffer in situations of forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation from which they cannot free themselves. Trafficking in people has become increasingly transnational in scope and highly lucrative. After illegal drug sales and arms trafficking, human trafficking is today the third most profitable criminal activity in the world, generating 60 billion annually. As many as half of all those trafficked worldwide for sex and domestic slavery are children under 18 years of age. Batstone tells the inspiring stories of a new generation of abolitionists arising among us to put a stop to human trafficking. "Not For Sale" tells the stories of rescued victims and their heroic rescuers, background briefings on human trafficking, and practical ideas that empower individuals and their communities to join the campaign for human freedom.
