What people are saying about Where Am I Wearing?:
“Timmerman is a fun tour guide, rather than a stern moralizer. His quest to find community around the world is an inspiration to anyone beginning to ask what’s been lost in the new global economy.” - John Bowe, author of Nobodies: Modern American Slave Labor and the Dark Side of the New Global Economy
“It’s one thing to talk about our disastrous trade policy. It’s quite another to live with the consequences. Kelsey Timmerman takes us to sweatshops and shantytowns to meet the people – mostly very young and grossly underpaid – who make our clothes. Every Washington policymaker should come down from their ivory towers and read Where Am I Wearing?” - U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH)
