Geographies of Commodity Chains

"Geographies of Commodity Chains brings together a wide variety of contributions to examine critically the spaces through which consumers are connected to producers. Case studies are drawn from a broad range of commodities including fruit, clothing and furniture, and span geographical areas from Europe, to America and Africa. Not only do these examples seek to transcend older understandings of production and consumption, but also they explicitly tap into wider public debate about the meanings, origins and biographies of commodities."--BOOK JACKET.
