January has been a busy reading month (and it’s not even over) but I have so many thoughts on Rachel Slade’s Making It in America that I thought it deserved its own review. Watch the video below for my thoughts on why it’s a must read as well as a few critiques of the ideas in the book, including the privileging of “Made in America,” the idea of inherently good and bad jobs, and the ways that perceived value in the clothing industry is influenced by gender and race.
