This was an extremely interesting book which shed light on the fair-trade coffee Brewing Justice Fair Trade Coffee in Mexico. Written from more of a sociological standpoint rather than an anthropological one, this ethnography relates the trials and tribulations of those from a lens pulled back further still than what I would have liked.

The scale of his research and the fundamental questions the book addresses tackle the inequalities in Mexico as exacerbated by the global market. In the first half of his book, Jaffee focuses on the villages of Yagavila and Teotlasco in the state of Oaxaca, the most socially and economically marginalized areas in the nation. This is the setting for a case study on the impact that Michiva—the indigenous coffee-producer organization—has on small indigenous peasant farmers. Jaffee delves Brewing Justice Fair Trade Coffee under The scale of his research and the fundamental questions the book addresses tackle the inequalities in Mexico as exacerbated by the global market. Furthermore, the premise of this book, a critique of the global market system, requires him to look at global connections between giant corporations, little corporations, and small coffee producers in Mexico as Brewing Justice Fair Trade Coffee as their relationships to fair trade. In doing so, Jaffee is able to evaluate global capitalism as well as current fair trade. One of Brewing Justice Fair Trade Coffee key issues left unexplored in Brewing Justice is the stratification and class conflict that emerge with the segmentation of the local labor market into fair trade and conventional producers. This is an issue that needs to be addressed. Can fair trade become a means to make all trade fair? The power dynamics at play Sustainability too complicated and the international intricacies too convoluted to envision a complete answer as of yet. But it seems as though Sustainability direction of fair trade is to build upon our market system to make it fairer. Then, people who have more access to fair trade, like large corporations, can become fairer and bigger. Therefore, stratification and class struggle will and Survival 1st edition due to the structure that upholds them. Also, Jaffee does not explicitly include the consumer in this whole picture. He frequently uses consumers and activists interchangeably without addressing the fact that fair trade is neither desirable to everyone nor accessible to and Survival 1st edition. Lastly, I wish he paid more attention to why the fair trade and organic food movements are so intertwined. Organic food is expensive compared to inorganic, mass-produced food. It is also healthier and better for the environment. In a similar vein, fair trade products are more expensive but arguably better produced and more ethically made. This also exacerbates class difference as people with money can consume better and more ethically grown food whereas people without have to settle for food of poorer quality. Despite its Sustainability, the strength of Brewing Justice lies in showing how multifaceted the issue is. It carries enormous amount of information with in-depth field research in Mexico to following the commodity chain coffee all the way to certifier and breweries in the United States. More importantly, it is the critique of our social structure, especially capitalism and neoliberalism. View 1 comment. Jan 28, Zygmunt Osiecki rated it liked it.

A tour de force. Up till now the claims of Fair Trade benefits for the producers have been largely based on brief visits and anecdotes, but now there is hard evidence.
