There’s only a very limited amount of good reading on this topic,
but fortunately we do have:
- No Sweat: Fashion, Free Trade and the Rights of Garment Workers,
- edited by Andrew Ross,
Verso, New York and London, 1997 –
an anthology of sparky features and pictures that’s a classic of
its kind.
- Also worth a look is the booklet:
Of Rags and Riches,
- published in January 1997 by the Clean Clothes Campaign,
PO Box 11584,
