It is also home to a violent movement for regional autonomy that, like the tea industry, dates back to the days of colonial rule. In this nuanced ethnography, Sarah Besky narrates the lives of tea workers in Darjeeling. She explores how notions of fairness, value, and justice shifted with the rise of fair-trade practices and postcolonial separatist politics in the region.  This is the first book to explore how fair-trade operates in the context of large-scale plantations.  Readers in a variety of disciplines-anthropology, sociology, geography, environmental studies, and food studies-will gain a critical perspective on how plantation life is changing as Darjeeling struggles to reinvent its signature commodity for twenty-first-century consumers. The Darjeeling Distinction challenges fair-trade policy and practice, exposing how trade initiatives often fail to consider the larger environmental, historical, and sociopolitical forces that shape the lives of the people they intended to support.Competition, UnfairIndiaDarjeeling (District)Tea plantationsIndiaDarjeeling (District)Tea tradeIndiaDarjeeling (District)Electronic books.Competition, UnfairTea plantationsTea trade338.1/7372095414Besky Sarah1981-1006245MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453956403321The Darjeeling distinction2315280UNINA01115nam 2200349 450 991013357160332120230423073207.0(CKB)3280000000025577(NjHacI)993280000000025577(EXLCZ)99328000000002557720230423d2013 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrier2013 IEEE 3rd Portuguese Meeting in Bioengineering (ENBENG) /Institute of Electrical and Electronics EngineersPiscataway, NJ :IEEE,2013.1 online resource (various pagings) illustrations1-4799-1705-2 1-4673-4859-7 2013 IEEE 3rd Portuguese Meeting in Bioengineering Bioengineering BioengineeringCongressesBioengineering660.6NjHacINjHaclPROCEEDING99101335716033212013 IEEE 3rd Portuguese Meeting in Bioengineering (ENBENG)2540287UNINA
