Fifty million people are living in modern slavery — not in distant countries, not in some historical past, but now, embedded in the supply chains of the global consumer economy. We know. And we do not act. Still Enslaved examines why. Drawing on twenty-five years of counter-slavery investigation, including operational field experience across multiple regions and advisory work with the United Nations, Brian Iselin identifies six powerful myths that keep modern slavery invisible: that it happens over there , that it is caused by criminal supply rather than economic demand, that it is primarily about sex trafficking, that slavery requires chains, that corporations are powerless to act, and that it is an aberration rather than a feature of the system that produces it. Each myth is a wall. Each chapter demolishes one. Structured around real fieldwork encounters — the domestic worker whose passport sits in a desk drawer she cannot open, the construction worker who has not been paid in two months and has nowhere to go — and grounded in current ILO data and peer-reviewed research, Still Enslaved makes the case that modern slavery is not a crime at the margins of an otherwise sound economy. It is what the economy produces when it operates exactly as designed. This is the second, substantially revised edition of Brian Iselin's landmark work on the architecture of modern slavery and the stories that sustain it.
