Clothing Poverty takes the reader on a global journey to expose the inequalities and injustices that exist within the second-hand clothing trade and the manufacturing of garments destined for Western markets. Thought-provoking and insightful, Brooks highlights a long overdue need for 'radical advocacy' to improve social justice within the supply chain, and between producers and consumers. A fascinating, must-read text for those interested in the ethics surrounding sustainability in fashion and design., "Both wide-ranging in its theoretical purview and also in its empirical focus, Clothing Poverty is a quintessentially geographical work. It's therefore all the more significant that on its publication, the book was engaged with by both an academic and a popular audience"  , A book that sparks with intelligence, mapping a world that connects inequalities, Vivienne Westwood, post-consumption and second-hand garments., This engaging and well-written book focuses on some of the least explored outcomes of the fast-fashion system we all live in - that is, what we increasingly and quickly cast off., "Every once in a while, a book is published that cuts across disciplines and world regions for a refreshing and engaging read. Such is the case with UK geographer Brooks's Clothing Poverty. ...Although written in an accessible way, Brooks frames book content with sophisticated theoretical explanations of colonial history, unbridled neoliberal capitalist expansion, environmental damage involving chemicals and water waste, and the search for "spatial fixes" of labor and new commodification....Highly recommended.", Clothing Poverty takes us on a fascinating global journey that provides powerful new insights into how fast fashion and charitable donations of second-hand clothes are connected with persistent poverty in Africa and elsewhere. By bringing global systems of clothing provision into clearer view, the book offers valuable resources for vigorous debate over what an alternative world might look like., 'Clothing Poverty takes us on a fascinating global journey that provides powerful new insights into how fast fashion and charitable donations of second-hand clothes are connected with persistent poverty in Africa and elsewhere.

I got this for a friend of mine. I’d like to good morning give it to them when their new baby arrives. It’ll be a cute gift. I’d like to think that it’ll be really helpful to them. I’d like to think they could have a bit of profit from them. It’s where they get to be a little more well off. I’d like to think they could have a bit more cash at hand. I know that they would appreciate that a bit. I know it’ll be a lot nicer than no gifts at all. I think I’ll hold it for the humor for now.
