"_Brewing Justice_ is a pioneering study of the variety of fair trade movements; a prospectus for a more radical vision of fair trade-an alternative sort of market; and a vital contribution to contemporary debates over free trade, the global agro-food system and the so-called 'movement of movements'. A tour de force."-Michael Watts, University of California, Berkeley


Fair trade is a fast-growing alternative market intended to bring better prices and greater social justice to small farmers around the world. But is it working? This vivid and detailed study of coffee farmers in Mexico offers the first thorough investigation of the social, economic, and environmental benefits of fair trade.
