Summary

Fashion Most Hated explores why certain fashion trends spark intense dislike, examining the history of controversial apparel through the lens of social norms, cultural values, and individual expression. The book delves into specific garments like the hobble skirt and low-rise jeans, analyzing the historical context and societal anxieties that fueled their unpopularity. It also scrutinizes underlying reasons for fashion outrage, such as cultural appropriation and defiance of gender norms. The book argues that fashion controversies often reflect deeper social anxieties and power dynamics, where reactions are rarely solely about aesthetics but also about unspoken rules and social hierarchies. By examining examples of "hated fashion," it sheds light on the values and prejudices shaping culture. The book progresses by establishing a framework for analyzing controversies, then focusing on specific categories like culturally appropriative or physically restrictive designs. Drawing on diverse sources such as historical publications and social media commentary, the book offers a unique perspective by exploring the "negative" side of fashion, contrasting with celebratory narratives. Ultimately, it provides a comprehensive view of the forces shaping fashion aversion and encourages more thoughtful engagement with fashion.

    Our recent storms didn't start in 2020 or 2016. They started decades ago in the 1960s - a whirlwind of threatened nuclear catastrophe, then police dogs and rednecks terrorizing civil rights marchers down south, then Vietnamese children fleeing from napalm flames. Then draft notices to go to Vietnam to "fight commies." 
A small town boy started by supporting rightist Goldwater against the "peace candidate" Johnson, but rapidly changed in the face of the civil rights and anti-war movements, and started a quest that hasn't ended yet. 
This book tells Dee Knight's story of "waking up" to the truth about the US war in Vietnam, then refusing the draft and going to Canada where he lived for six years. It relates the years-long campaign for amnesty, in which Knight was a leader. After war resisters won a partial amnesty, Knight continued campaigning against US wars up to the present day. 
There are chapters on: 
The political storms of 1968 
Exile life in Canada 
The years-long campaign for universal unconditional amnesty 
Antiwar veterans and active duty soldiers and sailors, including the sanctuary movement 
Witnessing Portugal's "Carnation Revolution" of 1975 
Living and working in Sandinista Nicaragua 
Socialism and the Green New Deal 
"Messages from the Future" 
Reflections on the Pandemic 
The Battle to Expand and Protect Democracy 
Appendices on Vietnam's victory in 1975, and on the reality of life and politics in China
