In this surprising new look at how clothing, style, and commerce came together to change American culture, Jennifer Le Zotte examines how the selling of secondhand goods came to be both profitable and culturally influential. Considering buyers and sellers from across the political and economic spectrum, Le Zotte shows how conservative and progressive social activists shrewdly used the exchange of secondhand goods for economic and political ends.
