Dean Bravo's Recent Article Examines Slavery and Contemporary Human Trafficking
10/15/2014
IU McKinney Associate Dean Karen Bravo’s article on trans-Atlantic slavery and contemporary trafficking was published on the website “openDemocracy.net” and it’s “Beyond Trafficking and Slavery” page.
Such comparisons ignore the fact that while the trans-Atlantic slave trade was ongoing, it was considered normal, even routine, Bravo writes. “They thus obscure the Atlantic slave trade’s essential similarity to the mundanity and visibility of the victimization found in contemporary human trafficking,” she writes.
Dean Bravo is a Dean’s Fellow and Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and International Affairs at IU McKinney.
