Introduction
We live in a civilized society and very often don’t even remember that there are different ways of life in the world and that people can suffer from discrimination, slavery, famine and segregation.
The Columbia Encyclopedia, defines the term slavery as institution based on a relationship of dominance and submission, whereby one person owns another and can exact from that person labor or other services. Slavery has been found among many groups of low material culture, as in the Malay Peninsula and among some Native Americans; it also has occurred in more highly developed societies, such as the southern United States (The Columbia Encyclopedia).
When we hear the word “slavery” we start thinking about Roman Empire or colonization. We think about slavery in the past tense as it’s even hard to imagine that in our era, during the blossom of civilization, technical break through in the beginning of 21st century such a phenomenon can exist. Reading Francis Bok’s book called Escape from Slavery became a great eye-opener for me. I read with great interest about Bok’s life in Sudan, his native country, about slavery and genocide, which still exist in that country. I became eager to find out more on this topic. I’ve spent time reading books and magazine articles and also searched the web in order to get more information and to make my own mind.
