Summary: "In the business of making and selling clothes, the ubiquitous 'Made in' labels do precious little to convey the constellation of treaties, countries, and people at work in the assembly of a simple pair of jeans. In Fugitive Denim, Rachel Louise Snyder reports from the far reaches of this multi-billion-dollar industry in search of the real people who make your clothes. Snyder follows people in five countries who confront a new uncertainty after the upheaval of a fifty-year-old system of trade in the clothing industry. They're all connected by the phenomenon that we call globalization, and they all have stories."--Back cover
