Where am I wearing? : a global tour to the countries, factories, and people that make our clothes / Kelsey Timmerman - Hoboken, N.J.: John Wiley & sons., 2009 - xiv, 248 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm
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.
