Sweatshop Slaves: Asian Americans in the Garment Industry is the first student publication to capture the role of Asian American workers in the sweatshop industry, highlighting the structure and organization of the industry, the history of sweatshops, the organizations and organizing campaigns that have worked to eradicate sweatshops, and brief oral histories of key leaders in the movement. There is also special coverage of the infamous El Monte sweatshop, where seventy-two Asian American workers were freed from modern-day slavery in 1995. The book is in English only.
