"Long-time activist Miriam Ching Louie's important book tells the stories of the frontline warriors—the immigrant women sweatshop laborers who tenaciously battle for justice. Through community based workers' centers, these Chinese, Korean and Latina immigrants are challenging not only the corporate economy but also the traditional model of union organizing—as well as gender relations in their families and class dynamics in their ethnic communities." —Glenn Omatsu
Documenting the power that can be unleashed when women workers break through patriarchal, capitalist, or racist silencing to solve their problems, chapters on successful campaigns against Levi Strauss, Donna Karan, and restaurants in Los Angeles offer key lessons for all who want dignity and independence for workers.
"Sweatshop Warriors introduces us to women who refuse to accept their assigned place at the bottom of the sweatshop pyramid. The Chinese, Korean and Mexican immigrant women whose testimonies are included in this work provide...inspiration and leadership for all of us who seek creative ways of mounting resistance to global capitalism." —Angela Y. Davis
