This article explores the infrapolitical and cultural dimensions of consumer activism by focusing on one of its contemporary avatars: the U.S. student anti-sweatshop movement, and specifically its leading organization, United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS). After a brief overview of the evolution of the anti-sweatshop movement since its creation, this analysis draws from theories on infrapolitics and social movements to shed light on the inherent contradictions of this form of cultural advocacy: first, by examining its conflicting relationship with the governmental sphere and, second, by discussing its symbolic dimension and identity-building power. |
