A Piece of Cloth: A Journey Through the Global Textile Industry

A compelling exploration of the global textile industry and its impact on people and the planet.

In her book "A Piece of Cloth," Lena Santana takes readers on a journey through the global textile industry, revealing the hidden stories behind the clothes we wear. From the cotton fields of India to the garment factories of Bangladesh, Santana uncovers the human and environmental costs of fast fashion and the urgent need for change.

An eye-opening look at the human cost of fast fashion.

The textile industry is one of the largest and most polluting industries in the world, and its impact on workers is devastating. Santana exposes the dangerous working conditions, poverty wages, and rampant gender discrimination that are prevalent in the industry. She tells the stories of the women who toil in garment factories, often for 12 hours a day, seven days a week, to produce the clothes that we buy for a fraction of the cost.

A call to action for a more sustainable fashion industry.

Santana's book is not only a powerful indictment of the current state of the textile industry, but also a call to action for a more sustainable future.
