This accessible, smart, and expansive book on shopping's impact on
American life is in part historical, stretching back to the
mid-19th century, yet also has a contemporary focus, with material
on recent trends in shopping from the internet to Zagat's guides.
Drawing inspiration from both Pierre Bourdieu's work and Walter
Benjamin's seminal essay on the shopping arcades of 19th-century
Paris, Zukin explores the forces that have made shopping so central
to our lives: the rise of consumer culture, the never-ending quest
for better value, and shopping's ability to help us improve our
social status and attain new social identities.
