The New Slave Narrative and the Illegibility of Modern Slavery

This paper argues that the first person stories of human trafficking announced after 1991 should be seen as reappearance of slave narrative. In this article we outlined the summary of slave narrative revival and showed that this type gained a fertile foundation by integration of various cultural forces in the 1990s and the 21st century. And the fluency of discourse of rights expanded the field of media, promoting first person 's testimony and cultural anxiety since 9/11. This environment promotes the development of survivors' testimonies, which serve as "meat and blood" of hidden and unintelligible human rights violations of modern slavery. Because of citizens' suspicion of contemporary slavery, slave talkers are facing a crisis of readability, but the general trend of the public demand of evidence is contrary to the eloquent demands of body details It is. This strategy transfers attention to external authority and experience. These strategies allow survivors to maintain control over their exposure in their life story, thereby revising and revising the spectacular expectations produced by many human rights projects.

According to the new global slavery index released at the Walk Free Foundation, approximately 60,000 people in the United States can be called contemporary slaves. These modern slaves were not sold as chain stores in public auctions, so they were not exactly the same as the 19th century slavery.

India is the country with the largest population of contemporary slavery and has a population of over 14 million people. According to the Global Slavery Index in 2014, the number of slaves in these countries is the largest.

Slavery was ubiquitous everywhere in the modern era, emerging from Muslim and Iberian Christian precedents, and Africans were often considered slaves. Indian slavery, which is thought to be the royal family of the Spanish royal family, was illegal in the mid-16th century, but it was illegal just as it was done before the American colonial rule in the century of Spain and Portugal The person was legally enslaved to the colony. The Iberian and other Europeans have found a justification for religion. Christians can slavery heathens and heathens in "war of justice" and slaves can become Christians in bondage. Missionaries often compare African slaves who are willing to accept Christianity to indigenous people who refuse the gospel. Producers often refuse to preach the gospel as heathens are so important for African early slavery.
