How clothing and accessories expresses our personal and political identity

How do we express our identity and our politics in what we wear?  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.  For more about Rabinowitz and this project, go here.
