Book Review

Comparative/World

Daniel E. Bender and Richard A. Greenwald, editors. Sweatshop USA: The American Sweatshop in Historical and Global Perspective. New York: Routledge. 2003. Pp. xii, 300. $24.95.

This ambitious and finely crafted collection of essays examines the dynamics of sweatshop production in the garment industry. Focusing particularly on the early twentieth century and the late twentieth century, the book attempts to link the first and second anti-sweatshop movements. While many of the articles explicitly compare the developments in these two time frames, the articles also provide a basis for readers to draw their own comparisons. This is not just an academic exercise. Editors Daniel E. Bender and Richard A. Greenwald explicitly "hope to spark a conversation in which history informs the present and becomes a tool for social and economic change" (p. 15).
