Essential reading! Siddharth Kara's "Cobalt Red" is a triumph in human rights and labor reporting. This is what journalism looks like. Matter-of-fact and unflinching in its narrative, this book can and should radicalize all of us to embrace a future of conspicuous consumption.
Graphic: Colonisation and Medical trauma
Moderate: Racism, Child death, and Violence
Minor: Pandemic/Epidemic, Sexual violence, and Slavery
