Erasing Race, Llezlie L. Green

SMU Law Review Forum

Low-wage workers frequently experience exploitation, including wage theft, at the intersection of their racial identities and their economic vulnerabilities. Scholars, however, rarely consider the role of wage and hour exploitation in broader racial subordination frameworks. This Essay considers the narratives that have informed the detachment of racial justice from the worker exploitation narrative and the distancing of economic justice from the civil rights narrative. It then contends that social movements, like the Fight for $15, can disrupt narrow understandings of low-wage worker exploitation and proffer more nuanced narratives that connect race, economic justice, and civil rights to a broader anti-subordination …

Where Trade And Industrial Policy Converge: How Developing Countries Can Utilize Trade Preferences To Generate Sustainable, Local Growth In The Garment Sector, Collette Van Der Ven

The International Lawyer

The rise of the textile and apparel global value chains and trade preferences has created unprecedented opportunities for developing countries to participate in trade in textiles and apparel. Yet, while some countries have managed to build backward linkages and engage in industrial upgrading, others remain locked in the lower echelons of the textile and apparel value chai

This Article demonstrates that trade preferences and rules of origin alone do not explain countries' diverging experiences in the apparel value chain. Rather, a country's industrial policy is crucial in determining sustainable growth: is it solely export-oriented, or does it balance promoting growth …
