Aja Barber wants change.
In the \'learning\' first half of the book, she will expose you to the endemic injustices in our consumer industries and the uncomfortable history of the textile industry; one which brokered slavery, racism and today\'s wealth inequality.
The less you buy into the consumer culture the more power you have..
And she makes you challenge this power disparity, and take back ownership of it.
She asks you to confront the sense of lack you have, the feeling that you are never quite enough and the reasons why you fill the aching void with consumption rather than compassion.
She will also reveal how we spend our money and whose pockets it goes into and whose it doesn\'t (clue: the people who do the actual work) and will tell her story of how she came to learn the truth.
In the second \'unlearning\' half of the book, she will help you to understand the uncomfortable truth behind why you consume the way you do.
And how these oppressive systems have bled into the fashion industry and its lack of diversity and equality.
