This book is ideal for readers interested in education, social justice, development studies, and those seeking an accessible yet critical understanding of fair trade and global economic structures.

How fair is fair trade? This handbook brings together leading fair traders, activists, advocates, and commentators in Canada and internationally, reflecting on the shortfalls of conventional business, production, and global trade and how we can change our policies, practices, and behaviours.

Description

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.
