Moving far beyond predominant views of Africa as a place to be
'saved', and even more recent celebratory formulations of it as
'rising', African Luxury: Aesthetics and Politics highlights and
critically interrogates the visual and material cultures of lavish
and luxurious consumption already present on the continent.
Methodologically, conceptually and analytically, the collection
dismantles taken-for-granted ideas that the West is the source and
focus of high-end and hyper-desirable material cultures. It
explores what the culture of consumption means in Africa in both
historical and contemporary contexts, studying diverse luxury
phenomena including fashion advertising, reality television,
retail, gendered consumption and gardening to re-centre the
discussion on existing contemporary luxury cultures across the
continent.
