A journalist travels the world to trace the origins of our
clothes
When journalist and traveler Kelsey Timmerman wanted to know
where his clothes came from and who made them, he began a journey
that would take him from Honduras to Bangladesh to Cambodia to
China and back again. 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 Condé
Nast Portfolio, and has aired on NPR.
Enlightening and thought-provoking at once, Where Am I
Wearing? puts a human face on globalization.
