Fair Game: Author John Bowe
Author John Bowe talks about his investigation into current-day slavery in America.

Nobodies: Modern American Slave Labor and the Dark Side of the New Global Economy (Random House)

John Bowe is an award winning journalist who has contributed to The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, GQ, The American Prospect, National Public Radio's This American Life, McSweeney's, and others. He spent the last six years investigating slave labor in three place you might not expect it - Southern Florida; Tulsa, Oklahoma; and the US Commonwealth, Saipan. He's written a book called Nobodies: Modern American Slave Labor and the Dark Side of the New Global Economy.

"In this eye-opening look at the contemporary American scourge of labor abuse and outright slavery, journalist and author Bowe (Gig: Americans Talk About their Jobs) visits locations in Florida, Oklahoma and the U.S.-owned Pacific island of Saipan, where slavery cases have been brought to light as recently as 2006... Bowe's deeply researched, well-written treatise on the very real problem of modern American slavery deserves the attention of anyone living, working and consuming in America." - Publishers Weekly
