Until it is literally falling apart, it is too useful to be wasted. Treasured pieces can be preserved for favorite younger relatives, and suitable, serviceable clothes gifted to a maid. But what happens to the increasing surplus of clothing that is ‘too good for the maid’? The most problematic category of all is that of old silk saris, once the most valuable clothing in the home and potentially the most redundant.... Hidden out of sight in warehouses, factories, workshops and the backstreets of slum neighbourhoods, vast quantities of old, unwanted clothing that have been bartered for pots are recycled for the local and global markets.\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\nLucy Norris is Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Anthropology at University College London.

Source: Cultural Analysis\n\n\nReview\n\n\nThe information is highly researched, referenced, and footnoted, but presented as a series of stories that make the topic more engaging. November\/December 2010 Source: AATCC Review\n\n\nReview\n\n\nThroughout the book, the writing remains clear and accessible, full of textured descriptions which seem to recreate the streets of Delhi. It is sure to inform specialists in the anthropology of consumption and globalisation, but remains accessible to all readers interested in a profound understanding of the recycled clothing trade in India.
