Reviews
"Action-packed . . . Reading Fake Silk , I could not help but wonder about the manufacturing process behind my T-shirt or the new dress hanging in my closet. Was someone harmed in the making of the kitchen sponge I just unwrapped?"-- Science "[ Fake Silk ], looking past the allure of silky rayon and cellophane, exposes the public health dangers of manufacture. This is a major and significant work."-- Choice "Fake Silk shows that our current regressive and refractory attitudes toward worker health protection and occupational health regulation have roots so deep in history and widespread that they must reflect culture rather than politics."--Tee L. Guidotti, MD, MPH, DABT Fake Silk reminds us that the productivist war is ongoing, and that we have all the scientific and technical capacity to bring it to an end: only political will is lacking.--Pascal Marichalar, Journal of Public Health Policy "It is unusual to find a book that successfully combines a discussion of contemporary pop culture, a detailed analysis of chemical production and a sweeping narrative of the pitfalls in regulating multinational businesses. The book is well paced and well written and will appeal to medical, business and labour historians as well as to those with an interest in writing the global history of a particular product or illness."--Julia Moses, Medical History "This book is recommended not only to the occupational health community but also to a more general audience who can be drawn into the drama over more than a century that Blanc unfolds. The silk may be fake, but this history is the real thing."--Howard Kipen, New Solutions: A Journal of Environmental and Occupational Health Poligy "This is an essential book for anyone interested in how a powerful industry can affect the health and well-being of workers and others across the globe."--Gerald Markowitz, American Journal of Industrial Medicine "A case study of epic failure in risk management and is as such a clear demonstration of the different values that our society and others place on people in their role as workers compared to people in their role as citizens meriting protection from environmental hazards."--Tee L. Guidotti, Risk Analysis "Paul Blanc''s book compellingly chronicles the all-too-real dangers behind the production of ''fake'' silk. A terrifying expos of what happens when the textile business puts profits before health."--Alison Matthews David, author of Fashion Victims: The Dangers of Dress Past and Present "This is an essential read for all interested in the history of occupational disease and of our increasing knowledge, yet failure to implement, the controls needed to reduce the risk of preventable disease and premature death."--Sir Anthony Newman Taylor, Imperial College, London "Blanc''s meticulous research has yielded a calm and overwhelming indictment of the murderous treatment that rayon workers worldwide have endured at the hands of their corporate masters."--Eric Frumin, Health and Safety Director, US trade union federation Change to Win "A shocking story. Blanc draws back the curtain on the corporate deceit and neglect connected to products that have come to epitomize modern life."-- Frederick Rowe Davis, author of Banned: A History of Pesticides and the Science of Toxicology "A fascinating investigation into the colorful century-long history of a pernicious industrial hazard. A cautionary must-read for anyone who cares about eco-friendly living and integrity too."--Don Katz, founder, Audible.com, "It is unusual to find a book that successfully combines a discussion of contemporary pop culture, a detailed analysis of chemical production and a sweeping narrative of the pitfalls in regulating multinational businesses. The book is well paced and well written and will appeal to medical, business and labour historians as well as to those with an interest in writing the global history of a particular product or illness."--Julia Moses, Medical History, "A shocking story. Blanc draws back the curtain on the corporate deceit and neglect connected to products that have come to epitomize modern life."-- Frederick Rowe Davis, author of Banned: A History of Pesticides and the Science of Toxicology, "Action-packed . . . Reading Fake Silk , I could not help but wonder about the manufacturing process behind my T-shirt or the new dress hanging in my closet. Was someone harmed in the making of the kitchen sponge I just unwrapped?"-- Science "A brilliant analysis of the history of carbon disulfide, and especially its use in the production of two classic consumer products of the twentieth century, rayon and cellophane. But of course, as with any good history, it is much more. . . . This transnational--indeed, international--history is breathtaking in its scope, for it encompasses economic, medical, industrial, labor, and cultural history in its purview. In short, this is an essential book for anyone interested in how a powerful industry can affect the health and well-being of workers and others across the globe."--Gerald Markowitz, American Journal of Industrial Medicine "[ Fake Silk ], looking past the allure of silky rayon and cellophane, exposes the public health dangers of manufacture.

Guidotti, Risk Analysis " Fake Silk ''s history of rayon shows . . . that the battles of workers and their allies to reform or eliminate documented killer industries must continue in the foreseeable future, with or without the support of politicians and governments."--Daniel Berman, International Journal of Health Services "Paul Blanc''s book compellingly chronicles the all-too-real dangers behind the production of ''fake'' silk.

Dizzying in scope, compelling in the breadth and depth of its cultural and historical references, and gripping in its exploration of scientific advances and their human cost, it offers a masterly survey of a global industry, a powerful indictment of its ruthless pursuit of profit, and a moving tribute to the real people who have suffered disease, disability and death at its hands."--Barbara Mellor, translator of Agnes Humbert's Resistance, "Paul Blanc's book compellingly chronicles the all-too-real dangers behind the production of 'fake' silk.
