Fascinating topic, fascinating book
I thoroughly enjoyed "Ready-to-Wear and Ready-to-Work", Nancy L. Green's erudite and expansive study of a century of the garment industry in Paris and New York.I've worn clothes for most of my life, but never knew much about where they come from.Now I do.Clothes don't come from stores-- they come from people, piece by piece.People with a story to tell.

Green's vastly-researched work is not only a history of the people, usually immigrants, often Jews, who have populated the garment industry.It is also a social history, an economic history and a technological history.The book is not an easy read-- it is a complex analysis of complex topics-- but it is a worthwhile read.Green successfully weaves the topics into a fabric of consistently excellent quality from beginning to end.

I found the book fascinating.I recommend it to anyone who wears clothes.Naked people probably won't be interested. ... Read more

It highlights not only the obligations of governments within their own countries but also their international obligations, and the human rights responsibilities of international organizations and corporations.
