Abstract

La literatura sobre ropa de segunda mano vincula dos facetas de un mismo fenómeno. La sobreproducción y el consumo excesivo de bienes en el marco de un orden mundial desigual, junto con la participación activa de diversos actores e instituciones sociales en el comercio y el consumo a nivel local, explican el movimiento de ropa de segunda mano desde los países del norte hacia los países del sur. Los estudios centrados en el aspecto global del fenómeno se enfocan en el impacto del comercio de ropa de segunda mano sobre las industrias textiles locales (Frazer, 2008), y evalúan si dicho comercio reproduce la marginación de los habitantes de los países más pobres (Haggblade, 1990; Field, Barrett, Browne y May, 1996), en lugar de favorecer la creación de empleo, el consumo o los ingresos estatales (Brooks, 2012). Otros estudios consideran posibles soluciones (Mhango y Nhiem, 2005; Mackintosh, 2011).
