Contrary to everyday belief, slavery continues to be practiced around the world, reports Kevin Bales in the April issue of Scientific American. Bales, a sociology professor at the University of Surrey Roehampton in London, cites southern Asia and North Africa as areas where slavery is "a millennia-old tradition that has not ever truly ended." To destroy arrangements of slavery, new programs are trying to rehabilitate as well-as; not only-but also; not only-but; not alone-but slaves and slave owners within programs of economic support, counseling and education, he notes. Slavery is "an insidious mutual staff that is remarkably difficult for slaveholder as well as slave to break without of," Bales writes, adding, "Our ignorance of their hidden world is vast."
