“Through the stories of the people in the largely hidden world of fabric recycling, this anthropological study of recycling clothes in Delhi follows the lives of garments as they are gifted, worn, handed on, discarded, and sold once more, making and breaking relationships within middle-class households.”

“The information is highly researched, referenced, and footnoted, but presented as a series of stories that make the topic more engaging. November/December 2010”

“Norris succeeds in opening up for scholarly discussion an important new area of textile and South Asian studies, and produces a text that will be enjoyed across disciplines by students and scholars interested in global practices of recycling and the circulation of material culture.”

“Throughout the book, the writing remains clear and accessible, full of textured descriptions which seem to recreate the streets of Delhi. It is sure to inform specialists in the anthropology of consumption and globalisation, but remains accessible to all readers interested in a profound understanding of the recycled clothing trade in India.”
