Description
Ever wondered who makes your clothes? Who sells them? How much they get paid? How the fashion and sex industries are intertwined?Threadbare draws the connections between the international sex and garment trades and human trafficking in a beautifully illustrated comics series. Anne Elizabeth Moore, in reports illustrated by top-notch comics creators, pulls at the threads of gender, labor, and cultural production to paint a concerning picture of a human rights in a globalized world. Moore's reporting, illustrated by members of the Ladydrawers Comics Collective, takes the reader from the sweatshops of Cambodia to the traditional ateliers of Vienna, from the life of a globetrotting supermodel to the warehouses of large clothing retailers, from the secondhand clothing industry to the politics of the sex trade. With thoughtful illustrations of women's stories across the sex and garment supply chain, this book offers a practical guide to a growing problem few truly understand.Featuring the work of Leela Corman, Julia Gfrörer, Simon Häussle, Delia Jean, Ellen Lindner, and Melissa Mendes.

I am going to give this book five stars for the overall subject matter and because I think other people should learn how these industries intersect around the world.However...I bought the paperback copy awhile ago, but the handwritten words in the comics panels are difficult to read. I can manage this earlier in the day, with natural sunlight, but not in the evening, when I'm tired. It should not be published in a book format that's 6"x8". I hope they can come out with another edition in the future that's more like 8"x10".I then bought the Kindle edition so that I could zoom in. This was even worse! The comics panels are *physically impossible to read*The picture quality overall in the Kindle edition is also absurdly bad. Maybe I missed it, but I can't find a zoom option in the phone app, the in-browser reader, or the desktop software.I eventually opened the book in Comixology. This seems to use completely different image files. Everything is clear! You can zoom in! So, this seems like the best option now, but it's frustrating that I had to try so many formats in the first place. I can assume a lot of people wouldn't bother.
