Making the Lives & Labor of the Invisible Visible
Revisado: 03-15-21
This book tells the story of Bosnians and Filipino laborers in US military bases worldwide. Based on extensive interviews it gives you a great understanding of the economic structures and cultural hierarchies that shape their lives. Some US contracting firms are decent enough employers but some are not. Turkish, Kuwaiti and Saudi firms are often exploitative. Overall, the book provides an insightful and nuanced picture of the labor supply chains and workforce that are the invisible force keeping the empire of US military bases across the world running.
