<p>Human Trafficking: Global History and Global Perspectives by Elisha J. Dung and Augustine Avwunudiogba is a timely, pleasant, and brilliant addition to the growing literature on one of the scourges facing our civilization. As an edited volume, the editors assembled scholars from around the world and from different but complementary academic disciplines. By so doing, they helped to expand and illuminate our understanding of human trafficking.</p>

<p>This is a remarkable book on the prevalent and concerning global phenomenon of human trafficking. It is an edited volume that captures in eighteen well-researched chapters on the historical, socioeconomic, cultural, and legal aspects of contemporary human trafficking worldwide. The contributors, derived from a broad variety of scholarly backgrounds, some of whom are fresh voices, have also systematically analyzed the problem of human trafficking from varying theoretical perspectives that are grounded within socio-cultural and spatial contexts. The multidisciplinary nature of this book shines probing insights on this illicit commodification of human bodies and makes it an essential read for all stakeholders including scholars, governments, public policymakers, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and international organizations concerned with and interested in further understanding and finding solutions to the problem of trafficking in persons.</p>

Human Trafficking: Global History and Perspectives argues that, far from being a recent development, human trafficking is rooted in the history of the human condition and has only been amplified by globalization. Using a multidisciplinary approach that traces the historical roots of human trafficking in global history, the chapters explore case studies from different parts of the world to show that human trafficking is not only a global phenomenon but a localized enigma. The contributors contend that the causes, and thus, the solutions, are rooted in local and regional social, cultural, political, and economic conditions of victims. The case studies include global, regional, and local examples to analyze the complex causes and effects of human trafficking as well as the legal ramifications.
