- This monograph was built upon five years of research, necessitated by the rapidly changing nature of an arena of social change hitherto neglected by sociologists of consumption. By affirming that the most apparently trivial of social arenas are worthy of the sociologist’s closest attention, the monograph presents the first systematic sociological analysis of retail as an ideological terrain. Cross-disciplinary in scope, the book sets about the complex task of understanding retail as a lens through which the paradoxes of social change are played out and in doing so challenges scholars to reconsider the meaning of citizenship in a consumer society.
