-A comprehensive, well researched book like this has been absent in South African research, especially in the context of the dearth of human trafficking research. Philip Frankel is able to achieve two notable tasks. First, he nimbly weaves the complex story of human trafficking as it shows itself in the South African context. Second, he deftly exposes the dark underbelly of this hidden phenomenon, without sensationalizing the crime or its victims' stories. I appreciate that he utilized a human rights approach, thereby avoiding the moral panic card. As a human trafficking researcher, I also applaud his willingness to provide a balanced view of current legislation and existing research.- --Amanda van der Westhuizen, University of Pretoria A comprehensive, well researched book like this has been absent in South African research, especially in the context of the dearth of human trafficking research.
