Working the Fabric: Resourcefulness, Belonging and Island Life in Scotland's Harris Tweed Industry

By Joana Nascimento

Trademark-protected since 1910, the famous woollen cloth known as Harris Tweed can only be produced in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland - yet it is exported to over 50 countries around the world. Examining contemporary experiences of work and life, this book is the first in-depth anthropological study of the renowned textile industry, complementing and updating existing historical and ethnographic research.
