Menneskehandel

Det er fyrre år siden, at François Bourgeon lancerede sit storslåede, historiske periodedrama Vindens passagerer, der blev en af tidens mest bemærkelsesværdige og indflydelsesrige tegneserier for voksne. Med sin kraftfulde blanding af detaljerede maritime miljøer, blodige begivenheder – og samtidig en udpræget kønspolitisk og social undertone med den handlekraftige og seksuelt selvbevidste unge pige Isa i hovedrollen – var både mandlige og kvindelige læsere begejstret for de fem første bind, der i sin helhed må betragtes som en kraftpræstation af en mastodontisk graphic novel. Cobolt udgav den samlede udgave i 2011. For ti år siden udkom seriens anden cyklus, Barn af Kaimantræet, i to bind. Mens de oprindelige fem bind kredser om tiden for Den Franske Revolution 1798-99 og samtidens omfattende slavehandel, udspiller Barn af Kaimantræet sig under Den Amerikanske Borgerkrig i 1863 i Louisianas sumpområder med Isas barnebarn Zabo i hovedrollen. Den tidligere danske udgave af de to bind har længe været udsolgt og stærkt efterspurgt, og fås nu i denne samlede udgave. I seriens tredje og allersidste cyklus, Kirsebærrenes blod, som også kommer til at omfatte to bind, hvoraf det første er udkommet, møder vi omkring tyve år senere atter Zabo, der da befinder sig i Paris i efterdønningerne af Pariserkommunens blodige begivenheder.Louisiana, 1863. Efter Nordstaternes erobring af New Orleans forlader den unge pige Isabeau – kaldet »Zabo« – familien Murraits ødelagte plantage for at opsøge sin lillebror Nano, der har søgt beskyttelse hos en slægtning. Undervejs slår hun følge med en fransk fotograf, og sammen begiver de sig ud på en livsfarlig rejse mod nord i Den Amerikanske Borgerkrigs skygge. Da det umage par når frem til gården Lananette ved Mississippiflodens delta, genser Zabo sin oldemor – hvis fornavn hun bærer – Isabeau de Marnaye. Foranlediget af Zabos nysgerrige spørgsmål begynder den nu 98-åriga Isa at fortælle en bemærkelsesværdig historie om slaveoprør, flugt og forbudt kærlighed. Og selv om der er 80 år mellem de to kvinder, har de i hvert fald én ting til fælles: deres brændende længsel efter frihed og selvstændighed. Næsten 25 år efter at François Bourgeon havde afsluttet sin oprindelige fembindssuite om den oprørske adelspige Isa og taget afsked med hende, fri og lykkelig, på en strand i Saint-Domingue i Fransk Vestindien, vendte han tilbage til sit gennembrudsværk for at fortælle, hvad der senere skete. Barn af Kaimantræet har tidligere været udgivet i to bind, men er her samlet i ét. Det samlede værk med Vindens passagerer kommer også til at omfatte to bind med titlen Kirsebærrenes blod. Med stærkt udvidet noteapparat i forhold til førsteudgaven. [Pressen skrev om Barn af Kaimantræet:] »En tiltrængt afrunding af de fem første binds beretning om slavehandelens grumme historie.« – Politiken (5 hjerter) »Hver enkelt tegning og hver eneste side er forrygende smukke.« – Ekstra Bladet (5 stjerner) »En dramatisk tegneserie ... De farverige streger gør historien både charmerende og skræmmende og tegner et spændende billede af både tid og sted.« – Jyllands-Posten (4 stjerner)

Den franske adelspige Isas dramatiske og tragiske skæbnerejse i 1700-tallet begynder om bord på en armeret fransk fregat, hvor hun frelser den unge sømand Hoels liv og indleder et kærlighedsforhold til ham. Hoel arresteres og anbringes på et dystert fangeskib, men det lykkes Isa sammen med sin veninde Mary at befri ham, hvorefter trioen på slaveskibet »Marie-Caroline« sætter kurs mod handelsstationen i Juda. Her oplever de den fremmedartede, stolte afrikanske kultur og de hvides grusomheder over for den sorte befolkning. »Marie-Caroline« fortsætter med sin last af »ibenholt«, det vil sige slaver, mod den franske koloni Saint-Domingue, i dag Haiti. Slaverne begår mytteri, men opstanden ender i et blodbad, og ankomsten til Saint-Domingue bliver skæbnesvanger for Hoel og Isa. Denne samlede udgave af »Vindens passagerer« indeholder de fem oprindelig bind, der udkom på dansk første gang 1981-1984: »Pigen i agterkahytten«, »Fangeskibet«, »Handelsstationen i Juda«, »Slangetimen« og »Sort som ibenholt«. I det enogtyvende århundrede har François Bourgeon genoptaget den klassiske saga i fortsættelserne »Barn af Kaimantræet« og »Kirsebærrenes blod«. Denne nye udgave af samlebindet er udvidet med Bourgeons flotte leksikale tegninger af det historiske skib ”Marie-Caroline”, som fragter Isa, Hoel og Mary først til Afrika og siden til Vestindien, med tilhørende noter om skibets indretning og funktioner. Endvidere er noterne til selve tegneserien udvidet.

Andet bind i den anmelderroste serie af stjerneforfatterparret Pascal Engman og Johannes Selåker. I et Sverige, der er dybt mærket af Estonia-katastrofen, er politimanden Tomas Wolf selv hårdt ramt af sine egne traumer. Men da han nytårsaften 1995 bliver tilkaldt til et bordel, hvor et voldsomt mord kort forinden har fundet sted, bliver han vækket fra sin dvale. Samtidig kæmper journalist Vera Berg både med sit kaotiske privatliv og med at blive en del af fællesskabet på sin nye arbejdsplads, Aftonbladet.Da endnu et bestialsk mord finder sted, denne gang på en stripklub, krydses Tomas og Veras veje igen. De er endnu en gang tvunget til at arbejde sammen på trods af deres markante forskelligheder. De mistænker hurtigt en sammenhæng mellem mordene, men hvordan samler de trådene, og hvem bliver det næste offer? Og kan de overkomme deres mistillid til hinanden og samarbejde uden at ødelægge efterforskningen?

Et Polsk forbryderalbum I starten af1900-tallet kom 100.000 polske sæsonarbejdere til Danmark. Overraskende mangeaf dem endte med at begå forbrydelser.Når man leder efter gamle straffeakter på Rigsarkivet finder man utalligepolske sager. Som en avis skrev i 1908: ”I vore arrester sidder altidpolakker.”ForbrydelserneAviserne bugnedemed historier om de kriminelle polakker. De blev omtalt som ”uciviliserede,dyriske, tyvagtige og hurtige på kniven.” De fleste sager drejede sig om voldog tyveri af mad, penge, cykler og statussymboler som lommeure og fine støvler.De polske piger blev gravide og gik i stadig løsere gevandter. Når de skulleføde gik de alene ud i marken og trak barnet ud af deres skød. Ofte dødebarnet.Historier omDanmarkHver for sig erstraffesagerne historier om individuelle og ofte banale forbrydelser. Sammentegner de et levende og dystert billede af hvordan det for 100 år siden var atvære polsk landarbejder i Danmark.Ofte levede de underusle kår. På kasernerne boede de sammenstuvede i små og overfyldte kamre. Madenbestod af kartofler og skummetmælk som man normalt gav til grisene. Arbejdetstod på fra 5 morgen til 7 aften. Mange af dem kunne ikke læse og forstod ikkederes arbejdskontrakter og blev tit snydt af arbejdsgiverne. Når de forlod gårdeneog begav sig ud i de danske landsbyer blev de mødt af nedladenhed og foragt.Straffeakternefortæller om den dybe kløft der var mellem de unge polakker og det danskesamfund. Om danske herregårde og sukkeraktionærer der blev hovedrige på det mankaldte ’den hvide slavehandel’. Om arbejderavisernes ambivalente forhold til depolske løntrykkere og om danskernes syn på udenlandske arbejdere fra’uciviliserede’ lande.De farlige dage Udover at værevidnesbyrd om dansk historie er de gamle straffeakter også fortællinger om ungemennesker der var langt væk hjemmefra. Hovedparten af de polske sæsonarbejderevar purunge, kun 15-20 år. I Polen levede dei små, tætte landsbyer, hvor den katolske kirke og landsbykulturen trængte ud ialle kroge og så alt. I Danmark var de frisatte, uden for landsbyensovervågende og beskyttende rækkevidde, overladt til sig og deres jævnaldrendelandsmænd.Når det blevlørdag fyraften, efter en lang uge med monotont arbejde i roemarken, ville defeste og danse. Brændevinsflaskerne kom på bordet og så dukkede det somdatidens aviser kaldte polakkernes ”primitive og dyriske natur” op i dem. Detvar på de tidspunkter de fleste forbrydelser skete. Lørdage og søndage varfarlige dage. Det var de dage hvor de tilbageholdte følelser blev sluppet løs. BogenBogen indeholder135 polske forbryderfotografier og 25 personhistorier der genskaberforbrydelserne. Derudover citater fra gamle aviser der viser hvordan mandengang betragtede og omtalte de polske arbejdere. Sammen giver kilderne etlevende indblik i polakkernes hverdag og de konflikter der drev dem ud iforbrydelser.Bogen udkommer 2. december 2023 i stort formatmed titlen ’Et polsk forbryderalbum – Danmark 1893-1929.’334 sider, 300 kr.Bogens forsideBilledet på bogens forside viser RozalyaMusial der i 1913 kvalte sit nyfødte barn i en udtørret mergelgrav på Lolland.Hun blev dømt til 4 års fængsel som hun afsonede i kvindefængslet i København.Rozalyas skæbne bliver fortalt i historien ’Drillet til mord’.

'One of the most important and timely books I've had the privilege to read' Corinne Fowler, author of Green Unpleasant LandA revelatory historical indictment of the long afterlife of slavery in the Atlantic world To fully understand why the shadow of slavery haunts us today, we must confront the flawed way that it ended. We celebrate abolition - in Haiti after the revolution, in the British Empire in 1833, in the United States during the Civil War. Yet in Black Ghost of Empire, acclaimed historian Kris Manjapra argues that during each of these supposed emancipations, Black people were dispossessed by the moves that were meant to free them. Emancipation, in other words, simply codified the existing racial caste system - rather than obliterating it. Ranging across the Americas, Europe and Africa, Manjapra unearths disturbing truths about the Age of Emancipations, 1780-1880. In Britain, reparations were given to wealthy slaveowners, not the enslaved, a vast debt that was only paid off in 2015, and the crucial role of Black abolitionists and rebellions in bringing an end to slavery has been overlooked. In Jamaica, Black people were liberated only to enter into an apprenticeship period harsher than slavery itself. In the American South, the formerly enslaved were 'freed' into a system of white supremacy and racial terror. Across Africa, emancipation served as an alibi for colonization. None of these emancipations involved atonement by the enslavers and their governments for wrongs committed, or reparative justice for the formerly enslaved-an omission that grassroots Black organizers and activists are rightly seeking to address today. Black Ghost of Empire will rewire readers' understanding of the world in which we live. Paradigm-shifting, lucid and courageous, this book shines a light into the enigma of slavery's supposed death, and its afterlives.

In this book the author - me - ponders on certain things, such as society and the universe. What is the underlying primordial matter of the universe and how can one relate this to our modern "society"? The word in itself hints the existence of a .....?Of a What?Of something unspeakable and dangerously terrible you may think, but that is something that might reveal itself to you, if you have the stamina to deal with the authors - me - gigantic and frivolous ego.

For the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, here is a collection of writings that charts our nation's long, heroic confrontation with its most poisonous evil. It's an inspiring moral and political struggle whose evolution parallels the story of America itself. To advance their cause, the opponents of slavery employed every available literary form: fiction and poetry, essay and autobiography, sermons, pamphlets, speeches, hymns, plays, even children's literature. This is the first anthology to take the full measure of a body of writing that spans nearly two centuries and, exceptionally for its time, embraced writers black and white, male and female. Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, Phillis Wheatley, and Olaudah Equiano offer original, even revolutionary, eighteenth century responses to slavery. With the nineteenth century, an already diverse movement becomes even more varied: the impassioned rhetoric of Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison joins the fiction of Harriet Beecher Stowe, Louisa May Alcott, and William Wells Brown; memoirs of former slaves stand alongside protest poems by John Greenleaf Whittier, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Lydia Sigourney; anonymous editorials complement speeches by statesmen such as Charles Sumner and Abraham Lincoln. Features helpful notes, a chronology of the antislavery movement, and a16-page color insert of illustrations.LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America's best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.

Frederick Douglass's dramatic autobiographical account of his early life as a slave in America.Born into a life of bondage, Frederick Douglass secretly taught himself to read and write. It was a crime punishable by death, but it resulted in one of the most eloquent indictments of slavery ever recorded. His gripping narrative takes us into the fields, cabins, and manors of pre-Civil War plantations in the South and reveals the daily terrors he suffered. Written more than a century and a half ago by a Black man who went on to become a famous orator, U.S. minister to Haiti, and leader of his people, this timeless classic still speaks directly to our age. It is a record of savagery and inhumanity that goes far to explain why America still suffers from the great injustices of the past. With an Introduction by Peter J. Gomes and an Afterword by Gregory Stephens

The work of rescuing children from slavery is not for the faint of heart, as thetwelve gut-wrenching accounts in this book will show. Harder still is to givethem their life back, after they've been kidnapped, trafficked, sold, abused andmade to work in horrific conditions, often for as long as they can remember.Pradeep was offered up for human sacrifice by his family, thought to be a badomen; Devli was a third-generation slave in a stone quarry in Haryana, whohad never seen a banana before her rescue; Ashraf, a domestic child labourerat a senior civil servant's house, was starved and scalded as punishment;Sahiba was trafficked from Assam to be someone's wife against her will; Kaluwas abducted and made to weave carpets all day long, his injuries cauterizedwith phosphorus scraped off matchsticks; Bhavna was trapped in a circus,sexually abused for years by her owners; Rakesh was worked in the fields allyear round like cattle, and spent the nights locked up with them in the stable;Sabo was born to labourers at a brick kiln, and never knew life outside it; andManan lived his childhood mining mica in the forests of Jharkhand, barelygiven time to even mourn his friend who got buried when the mine caved in.Kailash Satyarthi's own life and mission were entwined with the journeysof these children. Having lived through unspeakable trauma, they had lostfaith in humanity. But behind their reticence, behind their scraggy limbs andcalloused hands and feet, hope still endured. This book tells the story of theirshared struggle for justice and dignity-from the raid and rescue operationsof Satyarthi's Bachpan Bachao Andolan, to international campaigns for childrights. It is a testament both to the courage of the human spirit and to thepower of compassion.

Throughout the world, vulnerable people are being deceived into entering abusive journeys. Whether in the organ trade, exploitative labour businesses or forced criminality, their lives will never be the same. This book traces the journey of victims/survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking into and within the UK, from recruitment to representation to (re)integration. Using global comparative case studies, it discusses recruitment tactics and demand, prevention in supply chains, issues with effective legal protection and care services and vulnerability to re-trafficking. It also examines the ideological misrepresentation of vulnerable migrants and victims/survivors in media, the film industry, legislation and more. Rooted in diverse practitioner experience, disciplines and empirical research, this book bridges the experience-research-practice-policy gap by bringing to the fore survivors' voices. In doing so, it offers crucial suggestions for better public awareness, policies and practices that will impact interventions in the UK and beyond.

I skyggen foregår i Ferentari-ghettoen i sektor 5 i Bukarest, hvor den 18-årige Loredana kæmper for at skaffe penge til sin familie. Hun bliver lovet et liv i luksus i Sverige, og hun griber muligheden, selvom det betyder, at hun må sælge sin krop. Simon Häggström arbejder som citybetjent i Stockholmved siden af sit forfatterskab, og her bekæmper handagligt human trafficking-netværk og hjælper de ofte udenlandske prostituerede ind i et liv væk fra de kriminelle bagmænd, der styrer dem med hård hånd. Häggströms indgående viden bruger han i sine krimier til at skildre brutale miljøer, hvor makkerparret Markus Lundström og Natalia Volotkova løber i hælene på de kriminelle bagmænd.

Malaysia has criminalised sex work. However, its geographic location, porous borders andproximity to major trade and traffic routes have ensured a growth in sex trafficking activities.As a result, the 'United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime' and the 'United States Traffickingin Persons Report' have categorised Malaysia as a destination, transit and source point for sextrafficking in Asia. In response to such categorisations, Malaysia has ratified the (Palermo)'Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons Especially Women andChildren' and structured its anti-trafficking laws around prosecution, protection andprevention (referred to as the '3P' policy).This thesis shows that the enforcement of victim-protection policies is carried out incontradictory ways in Malaysia. Trafficked women are portrayed as victims in need of careand protection, but also as individuals who have violated immigration laws and engaged in'immoral' acts. This results in state practices that (re)victimise women through policing,immigration and court processes which are often deeply stressful, traumatising and violent.Punitive practices - including 'state and rescue' operations and long-term detention - havebeen legitimised and branded as 'victim protection'. In this context, the thesis argues thatcurrent policies and practices represent a continuing form of violence against migrant womenin Malaysia.
