At once scholarly and accessible, her book links these firsthand accounts to global economic inequities and under-regulated and unprotected workplaces that routinely exploit migrant laborers in the United States. Brennan contends that today's punitive immigration policies undermine efforts to fight trafficking. While many believe trafficking happens only in the sex trade, Brennan shows that across low-wage labor sectors--in fields, in factories, and on construction sites--widespread exploitation can lead to and conceal forced labor. Life Interrupted is a riveting account of life in and after trafficking and a forceful call for meaningful immigration and labor reform. 517 $aLife Interrupted 606 $aHuman rights$zUnited States 606 $aHuman trafficking$zUnited States 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aHuman trafficking 676 $a323.0973 700 $aBrennan$b Denise$01276914 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910669819303321 996 $aLife interrupted$93009525 997 $aUNINA
