Title: Silent Terror: A Journey into Contemporary African Slavery
Author: Samuel Cotton
Publisher: Writers & Readers Publishing
Country: Mauritania
Year: 1999
192 pages
I'll need to do some more reading, but this looks like a book to teach with. Cotton, a journalist and graduate student, flew to Senegal and Mauritania to substantiate reports of ongoing chattel slavery of black Africans to Muslim/Arab Africans. I think Bales's Disposable People: New Slavery in the Global Economy will be a good and more recent follow-up.
