This critical introduction to consumption and its geographies
provides an engaged summary of the consumption literature and
demonstrates that consumption is intimately related to the
production of space in everyday life.
In Geographies of Consumption Juliana Mansvelt provides readers
with a detailed explanation of political-economic and
social-cultural perspectives on consumption at different scales.
She opens with overview chapters on the history and
conceptualisation of consumption and moves on to thematic chapters
on consumption spaces; the body and identity; commodity chains;
globalization commercial cultures.
The text is illustrated throughout with comparative case
study-material and features boxes and annotated notes for further
reading.
A review of consumption from a spatial perspective, this
critical analysis of the key debates is the first synoptic overview
in the geographic literature. Geographies of Consumption will be
widely used in modules in economic and social geography, and should
be the core text for those with a focus on consumption
