Book Synopsis :

A groundbreaking chronicle of the birth--and death--of a pair of jeans, that exposes the fractures in our global supply chains, and our relationships to each other, ourselves, and the planetTake a look at your favorite pair of jeans. Maybe you bought them on Amazon or the Gap; maybe the tag says Made in Bangladesh or Made in Sri Lanka. But do you know where they really came from, how many thousands of miles they crossed, or the number of hands who picked, spun, wove, dyed, packaged, shipped, and sold them to get to you? The fashion industry operates with radical opacity, and it's only getting worse to disguise countless environmental and labor abuses. It epitomizes the ravages inherent in the global economy, and all in the name of ensuring that we keep buying more while thinking less about its real cost.In Unraveled, entrepreneur, researcher, and advocate Maxine B?dat follows the life of an American icon--a pair of jeans--to reveal what really happens to give us our clothes.
