What reading level is Made in Detroit book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The mostly immigrant workers, young Italian, Jewish, and German women who sewed shirtwaists, or women’s blouses, were trapped behind locked doors. The death toll was 146, and many women, their clothing and hair burning, threw themselves from the windows to their deaths on the pavement far below, while spectators watched and could not help. Shortly thereafter, twenty thousand women struck for improved working conditions and wages. The factory building is now part of New York University. The Trian...gle Shirtwaist Factory Fire remains the fourth largest industrial disaster in U.S. history.
Bodies falling through the air when all exits from the fire are closed to them and flames lick their skin: we have seen that.
In our time and theirs.
Labor was cheap then; too often cheap now, sweat shops, whether crammed into Brooklyn lofts or shipped overseas. Women are cheap and children are cheaper. Doors locked against their escape.
Growing up in center city Detroit when the factories hummed like huge hives at night and the sky was pink from steel mills on the river I learned early how replaceable we all were to those with power to replace us.
