Threads: Gender, Labor, and Power in the Global Apparel Industry

Threads: Gender, Labor, and Power in the Global Apparel Industry by Jane L. Collins

2:Collins tells us that United States corporations employ the vast majority of workers in export apparel factories in other parts of the

based companies that produced or subcontracted in those countries? (Chapter 3, p. 103)
