To Plead Our Own Cause

Our Price: $16.00

Free the Slaves President Kevin Bales has teamed up with Zoe Trodd of Harvard to publish To Plead Our Own Cause: Personal Stories by Today's Slaves (Cornell U. Press). The book contains ninety-five new narratives by slaves and former slaves from around the globe.

Told in the words of slaves themselves, the narratives movingly and eloquently chronicle the horrors of contemporary slavery, the process of becoming free, and the challenges faced by former slaves as they build a life in freedom. An editors' introduction lays out the historical, economic, and political background to modern slavery, the literary tradition of the slave narrative, and a variety of ways we can all help end slavery today. Just as slavery isn't over, neither is the will to achieve freedom, "plead" the cause of liberation, and advocate abolition. Putting the slave's voice back at the heart of the abolitionist movement, To Plead Our Own Cause gives occasion for both action and hope.
