'In this moving and audacious book, Marion Werner challenges us to reckon with the real costs of global capitalism. Her inspiring stories of human struggles in Caribbean garment factories expose the tremendous courage needed to fight the odds and create more just futures.' - Melissa W. Wright, Professor of Geography and Women's Studies, Pennsylvania State University, USA 'Werner's important new ethnography of garment work in Haiti and the Dominican Republic not only updates our knowledge of global apparel production for a new era of disinvestment and more "skilled" production, but develops a new analytical framework to show how a history of coloniality and its production of racial and gender difference remains central to global manufacturing.' - Jane Collins, Professor of Community & Environmental Sociology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA
