When Culture Goes to Market encompasses an ethnographic study of
Washington, DC's Eastern Market, a popular weekend produce and flea
market, and the people who constitute it: vendors, market
supervisors, and customers. By analyzing how this marketplace, in
contrast to theoretical notions of «The Market, functions as a
social institution embedded in a particular time, place, and series
of social relationships, Shepherd examines how urban public space
is produced, reproduced, and shaped by larger economic and social
processes. In doing so, he explores the practical limits to
formalized bureaucratic planning in the success of this street
market. Crossing disciplinary boundaries, When Culture Goes to
Market is an excellent practical case study for courses in urban
planning, microeconomics, cultural studies, urban and economic
anthropology, and sociology.
