This book is a global epic that transcends mere image-making to become an affirmation of the enduring spirit of working women and men. Sebastiao Salgado unearths layers of visual information to reveal the ceaseless human activity at the core of modern civilization. His extended captions provide a historical and factual framework for the images, which are divided into six chapters: Agriculture, Food, Mining, Industry, Oil and Construction. Though an elegy for the passing of traditional methods of labour and production, Workers ultimately delivers a message of endurance and hope.
'A vast and beautiful anthology of the condition of labour.' (Guardian).
