    Eye opening first-person accounts from sweatshop workers
  

*by G***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2013*

The stories in this book are compelling and deserve to be told in a way that makes them accessible to the average reader. Unfortunately, this book feels more like the first draft of a college thesis.The material is important and worth the read. The narrative is difficult to follow and lacks cohesion. Throughout the book, I felt as if I were reading paragraphs constructed of 3x5 card notes strung together, one after another, and not always in a coherent sequence.The author refers to the women she interviews and their stories in the past tense, often with passive voice, making their stories much less accessible. Both the women and their stories deserve better.That said, the topic is of vital importance to any of us in the west, for we are the recipients of the cheap food and goods the women produce, often in slavery or near slavery conditions, and never in conditions most of us would care to endure.Every socially conscious citizen should read this book and become aware of the high human costs buried in the cheap--and the not so cheap--goods we purchase.

    In My Personal Top Ten
  

*by S***P on Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2001*

During my vacation, I've been reading "Sweatshop Warriors: Immigrant Women Workers Take on the Global Factory" by Miriam Ching Yoon Louie.  Miriam has a multi-decade organizing history with low income women of color. She is the co-founder of the Women of Color Resource Center in Berkeley, and author of an amazing trainers' manual called WEdGE" Women's Education in the Global Economy."  "Sweatshop Warriors" is one of my personal top ten books on radical organizing. It looks at transnational sweatshops through the eyes of Korean, Chinese and Mexican women forced to leave their homes of origin to take super exploited labor jobs in the world's sweatshops, ending up in the garment rows of NY, Oakland, LA, El Paso, etc.  And there they have stood and fought.  Against incredible odds, they've led international campaigns against the sweatshops industries, formed multi-purpose women workers centers, dealt with men in their families who were sometimes less than supportive of their activism, and learned to be world traveling organizers.  The author mixes political economy, analysis, history, and the herstories of the women organizers she has interviewed. Race/class/gender/nationality -- all come into play in the lives and organizing work of these incredible women.
