"Everyday Sustainability takes readers to ground zero of market-based sustainability
initiatives--Darjeeling, India--where Fair Trade ostensibly promises gender justice
to minority Nepali women engaged in organic tea production. These women tea farmers
and plantation workers have distinct entrepreneurial strategies and everyday practices
of social justice that at times dovetail with and at other times rub against the tenets
of the emerging global morality market. The author questions why women beneficiaries
of transnational justice-making projects remain skeptical about the potential for
economic and social empowerment through Fair Trade while simultaneously seeking to
use the movement to give voice to their situated demands for mobility, economic advancement,
and community level social justice."--Page 4 of cover
