Trade Review

'Katy Wheeler offers a thorough and judicious evaluation of the Fairtrade movement and, thereby, a significant contribution to understanding the political potential of ethical consumption.' - Alan Warde, Professor Sociology, University of Manchester, UK

"A thouroughly engaging read ... this book is an accessible and thought-provoking offering that works to engage critically with fair trade rather than merely celebrate it. [The book] offers a critical and timely intervention, drawing attention to the lived realities of fair-trade consumption, and provides a useful platform to inform and stimulate further debate and research." - Cultural Sociology
