    Works that rival classics often reveal their merits in their "attitude towards the silent." Histories that focus solely on heroes and victors, however brilliant, are only half-history; while those that pause for the silent, those that listen to the voiceless, deserve the title of "complete." This book offers sustained and heartfelt attention to those who left no voice in history—their labor, their suffering, their daily lives.
