Description:
Artisans and Cooperatives examines how artisan communities and producer cooperatives engage with global markets through alternative and fair-trade networks. Drawing on case studies from Asia and the Americas, the contributors explore the relationship between traditional craft production, economic development, cultural identity and international commerce.
Published by the University of Arizona Press, this interdisciplinary volume combines anthropology, economics and development studies to investigate the social and political dimensions of artisan production. An excellent reference for researchers, students and readers interested in fair trade, globalization and economic anthropology.
