On that note, any thoughts on "fair trade" and the representational 
strategies involved in selling "handicrafts" and their related politics 
(preserving "tradition," "trade not aid," et cetera)? Does anyone know if 
there's a standard fair trade arrangement, and how much of the profit from 
these crafts actually go to the artisans/workers? If it varies, how much 
does it vary?
