While more and more people each day become aware of the dangerous world of human trafficking, many people in the U.S. believe this is something that happens to foreign women men and children not something that happens to their own children and neighbors. They couldn't be more wrong. In this powerful true story. Theresa Flores shares how her life as an All American, 15-years-old teenager was enslaved into the dangerous world of sex trafficking-all while living at home with unsuspecting parents in an upper-middle class suburb of Detroit. Her story peels the cover off of this horrific criminal activity and gives dedicated activists as well as casual bystanders a glimpse into the underbelly of human trafficking Even more importantly, Theres's story and expertise as a counselor and licensed social worker help identify red flags that could prevent her plight from becoming the fate of an unsuspecting teenager. She discusses how she healed the wounds of sexual servitude and offers advice to parents and professionals through prevention tips, education and significant information on human trafficking in modern day America. With insights and perspectives from a doctor, a friend and her own brother, Theres's memoir provides a well-rounded portrait of the dark world of human trafficking and serves as a reminder of the most important clement to overcoming slavery: hope.

For over two centuries, the topic of slave breeding has occupied a controversial place in the master narrative of American history. From nineteenth-century abolitionists to twentieth-century filmmakers and artists, Americans have debated whether slave owners deliberately and coercively manipulated the sexual practices and marital status of enslaved African Americans to reproduce new generations of slaves for profit. In this bold and provocative book, historian Gregory Smithers investigates how African Americans have narrated, remembered, and represented slave-breeding practices. He argues that while social and economic historians have downplayed the significance of slave breeding, African Americans have refused to forget the violence and sexual coercion associated with the plantation South. By placing African American histories and memories of slave breeding within the larger context of America’s history of racial and gender discrimination, Smithers sheds much-needed light on African American collective memory, racialized perceptions of fragile black families, and the long history of racially motivated violence against men, women, and children of color.

Erin Heil explores the global problem of human trafficking in the context of a small Florida town¿one typical of the many rural communities that confront modern day slavery in their own backyards. Drawing on two years of interviews and observation, Heil lays out the dynamics that allow both agricultural and sexual forced labor to flourish. She also highlights community antitrafficking responses.

In a utopian world, sex slaves are as common as kitchen staff and freely traded on the market. Men are sold as toys for the rich and powerful. One persons utopia is another persons prison. But some ofthe slave fine job in their serice and love the life that they are given. EXCERPT: "This slave looks like he was born to be fucked," Joshua commented without taking his eyes off the boy who now knelt before Joshua with his head lowered as far as his thick slave collar would allow and offered the cup and saucer to Joshua with both hands. "You must have a big one stuffed up him from the way he's walking," Joshua laughed. "Pretty gingerly." "Big enough to remind him of what he is and keep him open and ready for whenever he might be needed," Tyler laughed. "He is a good fuck. I'm almost addicted to him, I'm afraid, to the point where it's beginning to interfere with getting things done around here." "Ah, you'll satiate soon enough if I know you, Tyler," Joshua laughed. "Remember that last slave boy you had. You fucked him silly for the first two or three weeks, then you were down to about twice a day, and within six months you were so bored with him you sold him to that dealer down on Isaac Road - you know, the one that specializes in fuck boys." "You're probably right, Joshua," Tyler chuckled. "The boy is just one of a long line of good looking slave fresh that has warmed my bed over the past decade and hopefully, for the next decade or two," his eyes twinkled in jest. "You've obviously got him shaved in his genital areas and in his armpits, but what about the rest of him? Was he naturally hairless?" Joshua asked. "He's got about the smoothest skin I've seen on a boy his age. How old is he anyway? About 18?" "One question at a time, and let's look him over proper. No use him lulling around on his knees that way. Position, slave " he barked at the brown boy. The slave instantly leaped to his feet, spread his legs wide apart so his ringed genitals hung free, placed his hands in back of his head to best display his body, and tensed his muscles as he thrust his pelvis forward. Tyler reached over and rubbed the ringed nipples on the massive chest until they too were erect. "The slave just turned 19, and yes, he's body shaved but it's not needed on his chest, stomach, or butt. He's smooth as a baby in those places naturally. He's been a slave for over three years now - his parents had mortgaged him as collateral for a business investment which went sour. The bank called in the loan, so they had no choice but to turn him over to the bank, who put him up for auction. Turner & Morrison, Inc., seeing a good profit ahead of them, bought him up and spent the next 18 months training him for his new life. I hear they paid a pretty good price to get him considering he was totally raw and untrained, but, of course, nothing like what they charged me for him when I bought him fully mature and fully trained. He's worked out well, though, if I don't fuck him to an early grave," his master laughed as he reached down and squeezed the slave's balls. "May I?" Joshua asked as he reached to stroke the slave's body. "Of course, Joshua," Tyler laughed but continued to churn the slave's massive balls in his hand.
