Blood, Sweat and Earth is a hard-hitting historical expose of the
diamond industry, focusing on the exploitation of workers and the
environment, and the monopolization of uncut diamonds, and how
little this has changed over time. It describes the use of forced
labour and political oppression by Indian sultans, the Portuguese
in Brazil, and South African industrialists, as well as the
hoarding of diamonds to maintain high prices, from the English East
India Company to De Beers. While recent discoveries of diamond
deposits in Siberia, Canada and Australia have brought an end to
monopolization, the book shows that advances in the production of
synthetic diamonds have not yet been able to eradicate the
exploitation caused by the world's unquenchable thirst for sparkle.
