E. Benjamin Skinner
E. Benjamin Skinner is the first person in history to witness negotiations for the sale of human beings on four continents. In his book “A Crime so Monstrous: Face-to-Face with Modern Day Slavery,” Skinner tells the story of modern-day slavery. In 2003, as a writer on assignment on the frontlines of the Sudanese civil war, Skinner met a survivor of slavery for the first time. Like Skinner, Muong Nyong was 27 years old. After meeting Nyong, Skinner began traveling the globe to find others like him. Recently named National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, Skinner is a graduate of Wesleyan University. He is a fellow at the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government and previously served as a research associate for U.S. foreign policy at the Council on Foreign Relations. His articles have appeared in “Newsweek International,” “Travel and Leisure,” the Los Angeles Times, the Miami Herald and “Foreign Policy.”
