For the past few decades, the U.S. antisweatshop movement was bolstered by actions from American college students. United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) effectively advanced the cause of workers rights in sweatshops around the world. Strategizing against Sweatshops chronicles the evolution of student activism and presents an innovative model of how college campuses are a critical site for the advancement of global social justice.Matthew Williams shows how USAS targeted apparel companies outsourcing production to sweatshop factories with weak or nonexistent unions. USAS did so by developing a campaign that would support workers organizing by leveraging their colleges partnerships with global apparel firms like Nike and Adidas to abide by prolabor codes of conduct.Strategizing against Sweatshops exemplifies how organizations and actors cooperate across a movement to formulate a coherent strategy responsive to the conditions in their social environment. Williams also provides a model of political opportunity structure to show how social context shapes the chances of a movements successand how movements can change that political opportunity structure in turn. Ultimately, he shows why progressive student activism remains important.
