Who We Are In What We Wear
Paula Rabinowitz, co-editor of the Habits of Being series, on KBOO Community Radio.

Paula Rabinowitz is a co-editor of Habits of Being, a four-volume collection of essays dealing with how our clothing and accessories express and shape the image and the politics of individuals. Here she talks with the Old Mole's Bill Resnick about all this and the extent to which clothing can be the vehicle for radical democratic politics.
