While becoming less relevant in the United States, shopping malls
are booming throughout urban Latin America. But what does this mean
on the ground? Are shopping malls a sign of the region's "coming of
age"? El Mall is the first book to answer these questions and
explore how malls and consumption are shaping the conversation
about class and social inequality in Latin America. Through
original and insightful ethnography, Davila shows that class in the
neoliberal city is increasingly defined by the shopping habits of
ordinary people. Moving from the global operations of the shopping
mall industry to the experience of shopping in places like Bogota,
Colombia, El Mall is an indispensable book for scholars and
students interested in consumerism and neoliberal politics in Latin
America and the world.
