There is nothing uniform about wearing a uniform. This one article
of clothing has arguably had a greater impact on the world than any
other. From fascists to fashionistas, Uniforms Exposed looks at
this most extraordinary of ordinary garments and its cultural
meaning in our everyday lives. Tracing the troubling connections
amongst religious orders, the military, schools and fetish clubs,
Craik shows how uniforms alternately control bodies and enable
subversion. What does it mean to wear one? Why do certain
professions require them? Do they really tell wearers how to act
and others how to respond? Answering these intriguing questions and
many more, Craik shows how the uniform inspires fear and love,
conformity and subversion, and why it has continued to fascinate
across cultures and throughout history.
