By 2008, total Fair Trade purchases in the developed world reached
nearly $3 billion, a five-fold increase in four years. Consumers
pay a "fair price" for Fair Trade items, which are meant to
generate greater earnings for family farmers, cover the costs of
production, and support socially just and environmentally sound
practices. Yet constrained by existing markets and the entities
that dominate them, Fair Trade often delivers material improvements
for producers that are much more modest than the profound social
transformations the movement claims to support. There has been
scant real-world assessment of Fair Trade's effectiveness. Drawing
upon fine-grained anthropological studies of a variety of regions
and commodity systems including Darjeeling tea, coffee, crafts, and
cut flowers, the chapters in Fair Trade and Social Justice
represent the first works to use ethnographic case studies to
assess whether the Fair Trade Movement is actually achieving its
goals. Contributors: Julia Smith, Mark Moberg, Catherine Ziegler ,
Sarah Besky, Sarah M. Lyon, Catherine S. Dolan, Patrick C. Wilson,
Faidra Papavasiliou, Molly Doane, Kathy M'Closkey, Jane Henrici
