A phone case, a kettle, a child’s toy, a set of headphones, a pack of socks, a kitchen timer, a car part, a rechargeable torch, a cable, a cheap drill, a Christmas decoration, a novelty mug, a watch strap, a hairdryer. The range is so ordinary that it becomes invisible. We barely register it anymore.

In Sweatshop Capital, Beth Robinson examines the brutal sweatshop labor conditions that produced American consumer goods from the late nineteenth through the early twenty-first centuries, as well as the labor and social movements that contested them.
