With the immigrants outside perspective on Sweden and the black economy wage slaves insider perspective on the
undergrowth of the restaurant industry, the cartoonist Daria Bogdanska in her debut book Wage Slaves offers a
well-informed account of how desperate migrant workers in hopeless positions of dependence are exploited ruthlessly
right under the nose of the conscious middle class. Her way of seamlessly pairing the autobiographical story with the
important social report creates a modern proletarian literature in cartoon form that makes Daria Bogdanska one of the
strongest shining newcomers on the star-studded Swedish cartoon sky.
