Reviews
Global Markets and Local Crafts is a must read for anyone involved in a global project that relates to family survival, development of cottage industries, preservation of traditional crafts, or the impact of social, cultural, and political forces on small scaled artisans.
This thought-provoking book will help build bridges between consumption studies and the sociology of culture, economic sociology, and the sociology of development.
A particularly important and original contribution to debates on cultural production and consumption.
