Summary: A scholarly and thoroughly impressive anthology
Review: Collaborative compiled and edited by Daniel E. Bender (University of Waterloo, Canada) and Richard A. Greenwald (United States Merchant Marine Academy), Sweatshop USA: The American Sweatshop In Historical And Global Perspective is a close and meticulous study of the evolving meaning of the term "sweatshop" and the prevalence of such ruthless and ultimately destructive employment practices worldwide which now continues into the opening decade of the twenty-first century.
