Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the evolving relationship between fashion and transnational capitalism. It examines the inequalities and injustices that this relationship embodies and engenders within the interconnected domains of production, consumption, labour, and environmental ethics. It also considers national and transnational ways of evading, resisting, and dismantling those inequalities and injustices.

An accessible and compelling read, Fashion's Transnational Inequalities will appeal to students and scholars of fashion, sociology, politics, cultural studies, and all those interested in deconstructing the inequalities that exist in the fashion industry globally.

Rezensionen

'This volume makes a timely and much-needed contribution to understanding the fashion system's constraints and potential in responding to pressing issues such as decolonization and the climate crisis by bringing together a remarkable representation of the various ways inequalities manifest themselves in the global fashion arena.'
