Kuklin describes the tragic yet fruitful life of the young Pakistani rug weaver who broke out of bondage to become a leader against child slavery in his own country and abroad until his murder. A stunning opening photograph of Iqbal commands the reader's attention, and many other wrenching pictures tell the plight of bonded children. The book concludes with a rich store of appended material. Bib., glos., ind.
