From Dance Hall to White Slavery is a non-fiction book written by John Dillon. The book explores the dark and disturbing world of sex trafficking in the early 20th century. Dillon delves into the history of dance halls and how they became a hotbed for the recruitment of young women into the sex trade. He also examines the role of organized crime in the trafficking industry and the corrupt officials who turned a blind eye to it. The book is a harrowing account of the exploitation of vulnerable women and the efforts of those who fought to bring an end to this heinous practice. Through detailed research and interviews with survivors, Dillon sheds light on a little-known aspect of American history and exposes the brutal reality of white slavery. From Dance Hall to White Slavery is a sobering and important read for anyone interested in the history of human trafficking and the fight for justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
