Where Am I Wearing? intimately describes the connection between impoverished garment workers' standards of living and the all-American material lifestyle. By introducing readers to the human element of globalization--the factory workers, their names, their families, and their way of life--Where Am I Wearing bridges the gap between global producers and consumers. New content includes: a visit to a fair trade Ethiopian shoe factory that is changing lives one job at time; updates on how workers worldwide have been squeezed by rising food costs and declining orders in the wake of the global financial crisis; and the author's search for the garment worker in Honduras who inspired the first edition of the book Kelsey Timmerman speaks and universities around the country and maintains a blog at www.whereamiwearing.com. His writing has appeared in the Christian Science Monitor and Conde; Nast Portfolio, and has aired on NPR. Enlightening and thought-provoking at once, Where Am I Wearing? puts a human face on globalization"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aClothing trade 606 $aClothing workers 606 $aWages$xClothing workers 606 $aConsumers$xAttitudes 615 0$aClothing trade. 615 0$aClothing workers. 615 0$aWages$xClothing workers. 615 0$aConsumers$xAttitudes. 676 $a338.4/7687 686 $aBUS000000$2bisacsh 700 $aTimmerman$b Kelsey$f1979-$01599877 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809540503321 996 $aWhere am I wearing$93922742 997 $aUNINA
