Poignant memoirs and oral histories reveal lives devastated by the global economy's unfair wages, perilous working conditions, environmental degradation, and political repression, yet also manage to convey inspiration and hope for global change.
Among the accounts from disadvantaged employees working throughout the world in mines, the garment industry, electronics manufacturing, and on farms are a Bangladeshi labor organizer who faces arrest and torture for her activism and a copper miner in Zambia who, during a wage protest, was shot by representatives of the Chinese-owned mining company where he worked.
