For a very quick read this book does a great job at outlining the reasons many people are obsessed with fashion, the harm the industry does to people and the environment, and offers some ways we can reduce the harm our clothing does.

Rain Acorn reviewed Healing Resistance by Kazu Haga
Great intro to nonviolence practice
5 stars
This book has a lot of valuable insight into how to repair and resist harm through the lens of Kingian nonviolence and meditative practices. It focuses a bit more on society-level work but also has a lot of wisdom on individual and relational healing.
I recommend this as a great starting point for anyone interested in nonviolence and a social movement or a healing modality.
