Omschrijving
"Fashion and Politics makes for an insightful and thorough investigation of the two for all those interested in exploring the way hard politics can play out in the soft power of culture."— Rena Niamh Smith, Socialist Review
“The book features 120 colour images, making it a brilliant combination of both intensely academic scholarship and a visually interesting piece to have on display...Fashion and Politics is engaging and thought provoking, and could be read and reviewed multiple times yielding new insights upon repeated reading.”—Dr. Andrea J. Severson, The Journal of Dress History
“Not only thought-provoking but also beautifully presented and integrated by a rich body of precious visual references, Fashion and Politics is undeniably an essential reading…It is a thorough, rigorous and insightful study of this crucial relationship from a variety of perspectives, which can open further and much needed conversations on the multi-faceted nature of fashion’s deep political dimension."—Flavia Loscialpo, Fashion Theory
“Provides a primer on the major necessary considerations for a politically engaged fashion. Its uniqueness comes in the form of refraining from frontal attack on fashion’s well-known atrocities. Rather it focuses on the complex ways that fashion might help support hegemonic power or help us articulate agency to resist it.”—Maylin M. Hernandez, New Political Science
