Virago Press, London - ISBN:1844081141 reprint edition, 2004. softcover, 6" x 9¼. Book in VERY GOOD condition. Mende Nazer grew up in the remote Nuba Mountains of Sudan. Her happy childhood was cruelly cut short when raiders on horseback swept into her village. The mujahidin hacked down terrified villagers, raped the women and abducted the children. Twelve-year-old Mende was one of them. She was sold to an Arab woman in Khartoum as a domestic slave without pay. In the spring of 2000 Mende was passed on by her master to a relative in London, and eventually managed to make contact with other Nuba exiles. Her story is a shocking first-person account of the modern slave trade.
