Beads Bodies and Trash

<p><em>Beads Bodies and Trash</em> merges cultural sociology with a commodity chain analysis by following Mardi Gras beads to their origins. Beginning with Bourbon Street of New Orleans this book moves to the grim factories in the tax-free economic zone of rural Fuzhou China. <em>Beads Bodies and Trash </em>is a work of sensory ethnography appropriate for courses in gender and sexuality; qualitative or ethnographic research methods; deviance crime and social control; social movements; globalization; and Social Problems.</p>
