Framed within the common goal of advancing trade justice and
South-North solidarity, The Fair Trade Handbook presents a broad
interpretation of fair trade and a wide-ranging dialogue between
different viewpoints. Canadian researchers in particular have
advanced a transformative vision of fair trade, rooted in the
cooperative movement and arguing for a more central role for
Southern farmers and workers. Contributors to this book question
the limits of fair trade against the broader structures of the
capitalist, colonialist, racist, and patriarchal global economy.
The debates and discussions are set within a critical development
studies and critical political economy framework. However, this
book will appeal to a wide range of readers, as it translates the
key issues for a popular audience. Includes the graphic story 'a
lively bean that brightens lives'!, by Bill Barrett and Curt
Shoultz
Free trade does not make a significantly positive contribution to a
society's well being, nor does real free trade exist. In
Alternative Trade, Gavin Fridell confronts these assumptions
through a passionate and rigorous appraisal of alternative trade
and its imperfect legacy. Examining the history of alternative
trade models - the International Coffee Agreement, the Canadian
Wheat Board and the European-Caribbean banana regime - Fridell
exposes the unbridgeable gap between "free trade" proclamations and
the lack of actually existing free trade, arguing that the
alternative trade models are much more socially efficient than what
followed in their wake. Additionally, Fridell places politics,
history, social change, class power and violence front-and-centre
in his analysis and examines alternative trade within a broader
social and historical context to uncover lessons for a more
cooperative, socially just world order.
