Tjipombo, Tupa,

I am not your slave : a memoir / Tupa Tjipombo ; with Chris Lockhart. - First edition. - vii, 207 pages ; 24 cm

The true story of a young African girl, Tupa Tjipombo, who was abducted from southwestern Africa and funneled through an extensive yet almost completely unknown human trafficking network spanning the entire African continent. While a young girl, Tupa was abducted from southwestern Africa and funneled through an extensive yet almost completely unknown human trafficking network spanning the entire African continent. She was transported from the point of her abduction on a remote farm near the Namibian-Angolan border and channeled to her ultimate destination in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Her three-year odyssey exposes the brutal horrors of a modern day middle passage. The harrowing experience, including her daring escape and eventual return home, sheds light on the most shocking aspects of modern day slavery, as well as the essential determination to be free. -- adapted from jacket
