Where Am I Wearing · A Global Tour to the Countries, Factories, and People That Make Our Clothes

**A journalist travels the world to trace the origins of our clothes** When journalist and traveler Kelsey Timmerman wanted to know where his clothes came from and who made them, he began a journey that would take him from Honduras to Bangladesh to Cambodia to China and back again. *Where Am I Wearing?* intimately describes the connection between impoverished garment workers' standards of living and the all-American material lifestyle. By introducing readers to the human element of globalization--the factory workers, their names, their families, and their way of life-- *Where Am I Wearing* bridges the gap between global producers and consumers.

New content includes: a visit to a fair trade Ethiopian shoe factory that is changing lives one job at time; updates on how workers worldwide have been squeezed by rising food costs and declining orders in the wake of the global financial crisis; and the author's search for the garment worker in Honduras who inspired the first edition of the book Kelsey Timmerman speaks and universities around the country and maintains a blog at [www.whereamiwearing.com](http://www.whereamiwearing.com). His writing has appeared in the *Christian Science Monitor* and *Conde Nast Portfolio* , and has aired on NPR. Enlightening and thought-provoking at once, *Where Am I Wearing?* puts a human face on globalization.
