Críticas
"Provides a critical exploration of the real meaning and motivation of Fair Trade. Based on in-depth research that follows a pioneering fair trade organization over eight years, the book presents a thorough, thoughtful and compelling assessment of the impacts of fair trade practices on the artisans who form its base... hopefully it will bring increased support for cultural industries and decent work for the creative and skilled artisans of the world."
Reseña del editor
After agriculture and tourism, artisan work provides the next most significant source of income in many developing countries. Yet because of its image as a 'soft' or frivolous industry, some politicians and development professionals question whether the handcraft sector is worthy of investment. An opposing view holds that the creation of sustainable employment opportunities for poor people and a positive alternative to mass production outweighs the costs. Until now, the debate has been hampered by a lack of industry data. The Indian apparel group, MarketPlace serves as the perfect case study to provide this missing information. Like many fair trade companies, it has dual goals: to generate income in the global marketplace and foster the empowerment of the low-income workers who run and staff the business. In conducting interviews with MarketPlace's artisans, managers, and founders, Littrell and Dickson produced an in-depth socioeconomic audit of the group over time. The result, "Artisans in the Global Marketplace", provides a quantitatively and qualitatively illuminating study of fair trade claims versus impacts and a methodology for assessing fair trade accountability that is sure to inform current practices in social entrepreneurship and business social responsibility.
