The men and women in Invisible Hands reveal the human rights abuses
occurring behind the scenes of the global economy. These narrators
- including phone manufacturers in China, copper miners in Zambia,
garment workers in Bangladesh, and farmers around the world -
reveal the secret history of the things we buy, including lives and
communities devastated by low wages, environmental degradation, and
political repression. Sweeping in scope and rich in detail, these
stories capture the interconnectivity of all people struggling to
support themselves and their families. Narrators include Kalpona, a
leading Bangladeshi labor organizer who led her first strike at 15;
Han, who, as a teenager, began assembling circuit boards for an
international electronics company based in Seoul; Albert, a copper
miner in Zambia who, during a wage protest, was shot by
representatives of the Chinese-owned mining company that he worked
for; and Sanjay, who grew up in the shadow of the Bhopal chemical
disaster, one of the worst industrial accidents in history.
