    Bales‚ Kevin‚ and Zoe Trodd. Modern slavery: the secret world of 27 million people. Oxford: Oneworld‚ 2009. Print. Modern Slavery: The Secret World of 27 Million People is an analysis of modern slavery‚ going back to the history of slavery and the economic and political context of the present time.

    approved every chapter. Thus‚ though Haley actually did the writing‚ it is reasonable to consider the work an autobiography. The work is one of the most important nonfiction books of the twentieth century‚ as it offers valuable insight into the mind of a key figure on a core issue of twentieth-century America. In 1965‚ a New York reviewer wrote of Malcolm X‚ “No man has better expressed his people’s trapped anguish.” The autobiography continues to be relevant to efforts to combat racism. Descriptive
