Although reformers agreed that these unsafe workplaces must be abolished, their reasons have seldom been fully examined. Sweated Work, Weak Bodies is the first book on the origins of sweatshops, exploring how they came to represent the dangers of industrialization and the perils of immigration. It is an innovative study of the language used to define the sweatshop, how these definitions shaped the first anti-sweatshop campaign, and how they continue to influence our current understanding of the sweatshop. 606 $aAnti-sweatshop movement 606 $aGarment workers$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aForeign workers$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aSweatshops$zUnited States$xPrevention$xHistory 606 $aSweatshops$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aAnti-sweatshop movement. 615 0$aGarment workers$xHistory. 615 0$aForeign workers$xHistory. 615 0$aSweatshops$xPrevention$xHistory. 615 0$aSweatshops$xHistory. 676 $a331.25 700 $aBender$b Daniel E.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0908504 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248272303316 996 $aSweated Work, Weak Bodies$92371537 997 $aUNISA
