The Traffic In Babies

Más información sobre el libro

An investigation in 1914 revealed the harrowing reality of baby trafficking, as uncovered by George Walker. His historical account details how infants were commodified, often taken from impoverished families and sold to wealthy couples seeking children, frequently without the birth parents' knowledge. The book examines the societal factors fueling this trade, including poverty, limited access to birth control, and stigmas against unwed mothers. Walker's work serves as a crucial exploration of social justice and human rights in early 20th-century America.
