Students Against Sweatshops by Liza Featherstone, United Students Against Sweatshops Staff
United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS), heads a wave of anti-sweatshop organizing that has reached over one hundred American college campuses in the past two years. From the Northeast to the Southwest, public and private, large and small, students at these universities have one simple demand: clothing bearing university logos must be produced under healthy, safe, and fair working conditions. This short, punchy book is both a record of a new mass campaign, and a tool for the realization of its goals. Written by USAS activists and an expert journalist, it uses interviews, analysis and graphics to consider issues such as: What is a sweatshop? Why sweatshops are a focus for students. How students are winning campaigns for clean clothing on their campuses. Students' role in broader movements against unfair trade and sweated labor.
