Just when I needed a little pick me up, some coffee news came in.
Daniel Jaffee, assistant professor of Sociology at Washington State University Vancouver, has been awarded the 2007 C. Wright Mills Book Award, from the Society for the Study of Social Problems for his book, Brewing Justice: Fair Trade Coffee, Sustainability, and Survival. Jaffee, a self proclaimed dedicated coffee drinker, said he was concerned about the social and environmental impacts of his choices. His book looks at the economic policies behind fair trade and how it can benefit those involved in the industry.
Drink it in,
J.
