'Consumed takes us through the hideously complex topic of fashion
and sustainability, from its knotty colonial roots to what everyday
people can do to uproot those systems, today.' - Yassmin
Abdel-Magied 'SUCH integrity. Aja is no bullsh*t.' - Florence Given
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.
And how these oppressive systems have bled into the fashion
industry and its lack of diversity and equality. 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. 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. And she makes you
challenge this power disparity, and take back ownership of it. The
less you buy into the consumer culture the more power you
have.CONSUMED will teach you how to be a citizen not a consumer.'An
absolute must-read for any person who wears clothes.' - Orsola de
Castro 'A hugely compelling exploration of a culture of
exploitation and how, together, we can end it.' - Gina Martin
'Barber's isn't just a voice we should listen to - it is a voice we
MUST listen to.' - Clementine Ford 'If you buy one book about
sustainable fashion, make it this one. Consumed is an urgent call
to action to demand a fashion system that is actually fair for both
people and planet, not just Big Fashion billionaires. I adore Aja
and I love this brilliant book.' - Venetia La Manna
Úprimná spoveď matky – manželky, ktorú zlé rozhodnutia vženú priamo
do náruče odborníkov. Ako žena, matka a manželka si je vedomá
svojich chýb, ťarcha rozhodnutí je však oveľa silnejšia. Stráca
nielen svoju rodinu, ale aj to, čo jej bolo najbližšie. Svoje deti.
Skutočný príbeh, tak trochu drsný, trochu podaný s vtipom o ženách,
mužoch a deťoch, ktorým jediné rozhodnutie zmenilo život. V poradí
štrnásta kniha od obľúbenej Evity Urbaníkovej prináša príbeh, ktorý
je zasadený do prostredia rodiny a medziľudských vzťahov. Citát:
Niekedy máme v živote jednoducho smolu. Niekedy sa dostaneme do
prúseru, ani nevieme ako. Ale niekedy si za všetko, čo sa deje,
môžeme sami.
