4.0 out of 5 stars
Cure the Source,
By A Customer
This review is from: Children of Other Worlds: Exploitation in the Global Market (Paperback)
This ethnography served to not only shed light on the horror that is child labor, but it also served as a reality check. Child labor is terrible but the alternatives are worse. The revelation afforded by this ethnography is that laws against child labor do not solve the problem. Children will only find a new way to secure money. The new alternatives are worse and include begging, stealing, and/or prostitution. In fact, child labor is often their only way of survival.

5.0 out of 5 stars
thoughtful and disturbing,
By Lisa S. Parham (East Meadow, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Children of Other Worlds: Exploitation in the Global Market (Paperback)
this book is thoughtful and disturbing; it has research that may seem dry at times, but when you consider the human cost behind the numbers, it is horrifying. the author opens discussions about child labor and abuse within the context of social mores that are fascinating; then leaves the reader to decide for herself. well worth the read although i found myself unable even more convinced that child labor is a crime against humanity that must be stopped.
