This is a timely book, given that discussions of what is and is not cultural appropriation are exploding within the academy, museums, fashion design, and social media. Those unfamiliar with the concept will find this to be a fine introduction to the topic, and those well-acquainted with the subject will appreciate the literature review. ... From the beginner to the academic expert (and everyone in between), there is much to learn and appreciate in this thorough recounting of the debates over cultural appropriation. * Fashion, Style & Popular Culture * This is a timely examination of the problems inherent in the way that dominant cultures have taken inspiration from minority groups in ways that have been exploitative. This book makes an important contribution to the wider, political call for an urgent reappraisal of attitudes and inequalities that have had a devastating effect on many communities. -- Janice Miller, Head of School of Critical Studies and Creative Industries, Kingston School of Art, Kingston University, UK
