( ) Bowe writes about non-sex slavery in America (though sexual abuse makes appearances, as you’d expect), from Florida to Kansas to Saipan. He argues that slavery is in its essence about power rather than just about saving money; power unsupervised invites abuse and is abused. Repeatedly the perpetrators justify themselves by saying that the victims are poor and couldn’t do better anyway, even when—as with the Kansas case—they’re well-trained and jobs with better pay and conditions are also available to them. Bowe argues that mainstream Americans have made a choice not to know how our oranges, clothes, and devices are made—something the recent reporting on Foxconn has also made clear. It’s an engaging and enraging read, and Bowe does one very powerful thing that makes me wonder why everyone else doesn’t: he tells you the race/nationality of every person in the book, not just the nonwhites/non-Americans. By disrupting the default, he makes clear how much privilege matters to people’s perspectives on labor issues without even needing to say so explicitly. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
