Clothing & Footwear in African Industrialisation

by Dorothy McCormick (Editor), C.M. Rogerson (Editor)

This collection of papers focuses on the changing role and potential of the clothing and footwear sectors in African industrialisation. The contributions are drawn from the experience of the developing clothing and footwear sectors in Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa and Tanzania. Taken together, these four countries provide a good cross-section of African countries in terms of a range of different issues surrounding the continent's clothing and footwear economy. The volume contributes to the development of a greater appreciation of the impacts of globalisation on industrial development trajectories in the global periphery.
