We have all fallen captive to various things in our lives. Whether we've succumbed to unfulfilled dreams, untamed fears, unhealed wounds, or unhealthy habits, we allow them to hold us prisoner even when they hurt us. Eric and Elena Hahn, one couple who longed to walk free from what held them, ventured to the unlikeliest place: the epicenter of Mexico's drug-trafficking empire. There in the most problematic community, the red light district, shattered homes lined the dirt streets where poverty, prostitution, drugs, and every vice and perversion known on earth held the people captive. But there, this couple won the love of broken and desperate children whom sin had beaten down and held captive in ways the Hahns could never fathom. Follow the Hahns' journey as they struggle to reach Mexico's lost children and, in so doing, discover the key to walking in freedom. Learn along with Eric and Elena how to experience the Father heart of God and how to impact your world right now.Eric and Elena Hahn founded His Precious Ones in 2004 to reach Mexico's most lost and desperate young people with God's love. Although beginning mainly with ministry to street kids, Eric and Elena soon discovered the urgent need for all people with broken hearts to understand the Father's love. After six years of living in Mexico, they now reside in Chicago with their newborn twins. Their ministerial focus is on teaching about the Father heart of God and mentoring the next generation.

"Emotion in the house where Emma grew up was rare, so, when Emma disappeared it took a couple days before her aunt actually realized Emma was missing. Then a month went by, quickly. A little late to call the police. Aunt Evelyn knew of only one person who, maybe, would care Emma was missing, who, maybe, would do something about getting Emma back, and, who--as she recalled--would do anything for Emma: Bailey Forbes."--From back cover.

In Trafficking in Antiblackness Lyndsey P. Beutin analyzes how campaigns to end human trafficking—often described as “modern-day slavery”—invoke the memory of transatlantic slavery to support positions ultimately grounded in antiblackness. Drawing on contemporary antitrafficking visual culture and media discourse, she shows how a constellation of media, philanthropic, NGO, and government actors invested in ending human trafficking repurpose the history of transatlantic slavery and abolition in ways that undermine contemporary struggles for racial justice and slavery reparations. The recurring narratives, images, and figures such as “slavery in Africa,” “Arab slave traders,” and “Black incapacity for self-governance” discursively turn Black people across the diaspora into the enslavers of the past and present in place of white Americans and Europeans. Doing so, Beutin contends, creates a rhetorical defense against being held liable for slavery’s dispossessions and violence. Despite these implications, Beutin demonstrates that antitrafficking discourse remains popular and politically useful for former slaving nations and their racial beneficiaries because it refashions historic justifications for white supremacy into today’s abolition of slavery.
