In 1995, Prof. Ross began to study the resurgence of sweatshops in the U.S. and global apparel industry, and he has lectured extensively on the issue. His work on this has been published in The Nation, Foreign Affairs, Dollars & Sense and a number of edited collections of research on globalization. He wrote Slaves to Fashion: Poverty and Abuse in the New Sweatshops (Univ. of Michigan Press, 2004).

I went to this and had a great time! Bob was an engaging speaker and the Community Church provided a very engaging social justice atmosphere. I bought his book and would be glad to loan it to anybody who is interested in reading it.
