520 "Beads, Bodies, and Trash merges cultural sociology with a
commodity chain analysis by following Mardi Gras beads to
their origins. Beginning with Bourbon Street of New
Orleans, this book moves to the grim factories in the tax-
free economic zone of rural Fuzhou, China. Beads, Bodies,
and Trash will increase students' capacity to think
critically about and question everyday objects that
circulate around the globe: where do objects come from,
how do they emerge, where do they end up, what are their
properties, what assemblages do they form, and what are
the consequences (both beneficial and harmful) of those
properties on the environment and human bodies? This book
also asks students to confront how the beads can
contradictorily be implicated in fun, sexist, unequal, and
toxic relationships of production, consumption, and
disposal. With a companion documentary, Mardi Gras Made in
China, this book introduces students to recording
technologies as possible research tools"--|cProvided by
