1 Important Note: Please be sure to obtain the updated version of the book. There are chapters in the newer edition that were not in previous editions. Ms. R. Winkler/Ms. A. Rudoy Advanced Placement Human Geography Summer 2016 Reading Assignment by Kelsey Timmerman Ninety-seven percent of our clothes are made overseas. Yet globalization makes it difficult to know much about the origin of the products we buy-beyond the standard "Made in" label. So journalist and blogger Kelsey Timmerman decided to visit each of the countries and factories where his five favorite items of clothing were made and meet the workers. He knew the basics of globalized labor-the forces, processes, economics, and politics at work. But what was lost among all those facts and numbers was an understanding of the lives, personalities, hopes, and dreams of the people who made his clothes. by Kelsey Timmerman ISBN# $18.95 Directions: Read and answer all questions below. Answers MUST BE HANDWRITTEN, no type-written answers will be accepted. Please answer in complete sentences. Answers will be due the first day of the fall semester. Be prepared to discuss the book in class. Also complete the map and turn it in with your answers.
