Description
The study of consumption, including such aspects as social differentiation, communication and the change of needs, has become a major field of study within material culture research. This volume includes ethnographic case studies documenting a wide range of local practices with regard to consumer goods. Each chapter deals with the social dynamics engendered by new modes of consumption in specific areas (Cte dIvoire, Zambia, Tanzania, Nigeria, Burkina Faso and Niger).
