Is fair trade a radical movement aiming to transform global systems
of production and exchange, or is it a marketing niche that
delivers small benefits to Southern farmers and a clean conscience
to Northern consumers? Schisms currently opening between the
US-based Fair Trade USA and the rest of the international fair
trade movement are reflective of this choice. This book evaluates
the extent to which fair trade is likely to be a transformative
movement. The authors show that fair trade's most significant, and
threatened, contribution is its potential to reveal to otherwise
'blinded' consumers the qualitative aspects of labour and nature
embodied in commodities. Integrating insights from economic and
sociological theory and research, the book sheds new light on this
potential of the movement, its role in producing social change,
and, given the recent strategic trajectory of the movement, the
serious problems it now faces.
