What reading level is A Modern Slavery book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There was, for instance, the large Chibokwe town of Peho, which was built round the head of a marsh close upon the main path some two or three days west of Mashiko. You will still find the place marked, about the size of London, on any map of Angola or Africa, but I have looked everywhere for it along the route in vain. A Portuguese once told me he thought it was a few days' journey north of his house near 109 A MODERN SLAVERY Mashiko. But he was wrong. Tliq whole place has entirely disappeared..., and has less right than Nineveh to a name on a modern map.^ The Chibokwe have a custom of destroying their villages and abandoning the site whenever a chief dies, and this in itself is naturally very puzzling to all geographers. But I think it hardly explains the utter abandonment of the Hungry Country. It is commonly supposed that no wild animals will live in the region, but that is not true, either. Many times, when I have wandered away from the foot- path, I have put up various antelopes — lechwe and duikers — and beside the marshes in the early morn- ing I have seen the fresh spoor of larger deer, as well as of porcupines and wart-hogs.
