Flesh & Blood So Cheap: The Triangle Fire and Its Legacy by Albert Marrin

4.0

This moving story of the Triangle Fire and it's place on history explores the state of immigration at the time and gives a full picture of life in the tenement neighborhoods of New York City. The tragic workplace fire was the event that could not be ignored in creating workplace safety and working standards in US policy. Marrin also looks into modern day sweathouses and the debate over whether life would be better for the families who work in them if they were eliminated.
