Abstract:This article presents a historical and contemporary overview of child domestic servitude in Haiti and an analysis of legislation that protects children from labor exploitation and trafficking. The range of criminal sanctions addressing the issue of child domestic servitude has created an unpredictable legal terrain for how these cases are resolved, allowing for prosecutors and judges to apply any one of the various applicable laws of choice with vastly disparate sentencing outcomes for abusers, recruiters, and parents.

Abstract:This article critically assesses existing state practices on human trafficking in the Caribbean. More specifically, through analysis of empirical data gleaned from semi-structured interviews with fifty stakeholders (government officials and nongovernmental organization representatives) in twelve Caribbean countries, this article assesses the four main contentious areas of state practice with which regional stakeholders are most concerned: the description of "trafficking in persons" as "modern slavery," the illegitimacy of the US TIP Reports, investigations into trafficking in persons, and victim identification and referral. This article presents postcolonial critiques of anti-trafficking law and practice in the foregoing four areas.

conceptualized southerners as a community with racial and cultural identity as well as a favorable place in the oppression– liberation discourse. Attempts that “creative intellectuals” made to give a unifying account of events during internal splits and factionalism are discussed in chapter 4. In this context, then, “the Bible provided a foundation from which a people divided by language, politics, and ethnicity could envision themselves as sharing a common heritage through the lens of the ancient (biblical) Kingdom of Cush” (21). In chapter 5, Tounsel engages the “Troubled Promise Land” between the period 2005 to 2018 as the independent South Sudan is embroiled in internal conflict along ethnic lines. Even within this context of internal conflict, “though the traditional enemy from the north was absent, religious thought still functioned as a political technology despite the changed scope of who and what constituted us and them, good and bad, heroes and villains” (22). The crisp style of writing, the arguments, and the engaging discussions in the various chapters make this book a mustread for scholars, students, and individuals interested not only in African studies and history but also in the application of religious thought in political situations.

Abstract:This chapter will examine trends in human trafficking in Caribbean and African islands over the past five years as documented in the US Department of State's annual Trafficking in Persons Report (2016–2021). The countries that will be examined include Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, and the Grenadines in the Caribbean region and Cabo Verde, Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, Zanzibar, Tunisia, and Bijagos, Guinea-Bissau, in Africa. This article will examine what countries in these two regions have accomplished in the areas of prosecution of traffickers, victim protection, and prevention activities, as well as discuss the challenges and shortcomings in the anti-trafficking efforts of these island countries. The chapter will discuss the common elements across these regions facilitating success and failures in combating human trafficking. The chapter will end by discussing what policy recommendations, capacity-building initiatives, and cross-regional collaborations could be launched to address these collective trafficking problems.
