Providing a cross-cultural perspective on consumption, the volume builds upon and complicates the idea that consumption, as a form of meaning making, is key to the construction of gendered, classed, and national identities. The volume's global perspective and comparative framework will recalibrate ongoing discussions about consumption and domesticity, dress and identity, and desire and subjectivity.
