Threadbare: Clothes, Sex, and Trafficking | Anne Elizabeth Moore
5 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
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.

An interesting mix of comics and journalism that actually gives (illustrated) human faces and specificity to a problem that is so large it loses its humanity and so amorphous there is only a vague notion of needing to do something that is castrated from any action. Highly recommend. Definitely going to check out other Microcosm Publishing books.

#tbrtuesday and #libraryhaul I'm really looking forward to Threadbare and My Best Friend's Exorcism. The other two have been on my list for quite a while and I was lucky to find them on the shelves 😄
