The degree to which shopping, or, more broadly, consumerism, is
both critiqued and defended in American society confirms the role
that commercial goods play in our daily lives. This collection of
essays provides case studies depicting selected aspects of this
engaging activity. The authors include several historians with
diverging specialties: an art historian, an anthropologist, an
environmental journalist, a geographer and urban planner, and
practicing artists. Each author demonstrates how a material culture
perspective—a focus on the relationship between people and their
things—can illuminate a specific corner of consumption.
Connecting the essays are concerns about the spaces in which
shopping occurs; about the experience of shopping itself, both
individual and social; and about its economic, environmental, and
personal downsides. Collectively, these essays demonstrate how a
material culture perspective on shopping yields insights into
multiple aspects of American culture. Published by University of
Delaware Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University
Press. Â
