misleading title, but full of information!

Flesh and Blood So Cheap:  the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire and Its Legacy was a really good book for me to read because I don't remember as much as I wish I remembered about the second wave immigration and the history of labor relations in the US.  This book contained a really great recap and gave me a lot of information that I didn't have before, including some personal stories about big names in the history of it.  If you want a good book about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, even though it is historical fiction, I would recommend Uprising.
The end of the book talks about modern day sweatshops, especially in Bangladesh.  It sites a 2009 fire.  But sadly, in 2013 there was another fire that killed more than 1,000.  I found it here on this page first.  Another super-sad thing about reading books that talk about immigration to the US is that today there are so many who want to put up walls, when on our Statue of Liberty it still says, "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses, yearning to breath free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless tost to me, I lift my lamp, beside the golden door."- Emma Lazarus.  If we don't feel that way anymore, then we need to take that statue down, scribble off the words, at least or change them, as some have jokingly suggested.  Because what a joke that is now, to have those words there, when we really don't seem to mean them anymore.
