Book Title: The Sweatshop Regime: Labouring Bodies, Exploitation, and Garments Made in India

Author: Alessandra Mezzadri

Selection Statement:

Few studies weave together with such care and detail the myriad forms of exploitation and control faced by garment workers. This is particularly challenging in India, where gender, race, class, religion, and caste intersect in such complex ways. This book was absolutely crucial in preparing me for my field research in India to study the garment sector.
