El Mall: The Spatial and Class Politics of Shopping Malls in Latin America Paperback - 2016
by Dávila, Arlene
From the rear cover
"In peeling back the shiny surfaces of high finance, branding, and mall spaces themselves, El Mall delves into the ways that space, history, and politics create powerful and specific social and cultural loci, where neoliberal practices and urban planning work together to amplify power struggles and exacerbate inequalities. If you think about malls, or consumers, or Latin America, you need this book."--Elizabeth Chin, author of Purchasing Power: Black Kids and American Consumer Culture "This compelling work provides a key contribution to the relatively unexplored field of Latin American Consumption Studies. Unlike traditional accounts in consumer culture analysis, which often portray Latin America as either a space of resistance or a replication of external forces, El Mall's powerful ethnographic account moves through different analytical layers--from the political economy and the politics of commercial expertise to the interplays of everyday life, consumption, and identity in contemporary Colombia. An important book for anyone wanting to understand the complexities of Latin American consumer culture."--Tomás Ariztía, Associate Professor of Sociology, Universidad Diego Portales, Santiago, Chile "El Mall raises questions about the politics of space, illuminating how malls consolidate inequalities through national neoliberal capitalist logics and class imagery via consumption."--Patricia Zavella, author of I'm Neither Here nor There: Mexicans' Quotidian Struggles with Migration and Poverty "El Mall shows why the Latin American shopping mall has become a designed and designing space par excellence, where Latin American sociality is being profoundly reconfigured beyond the particularities of political and economic regimes. It emerges from these engaging pages as a trans/national heterogeneous assemblage of land, culture, planning, finance, speculation, consumption, labor, identity, security, and fashion--a culture-producing machine that while central to neoliberal globalization cannot be easily reduced to it. Ethnographically and theoretically rich, this book will be of great interest to undergraduate and graduate students not only in anthropology, geography, and sociology but also in interdisciplinary fields such as Latin American studies and urban studies, planning, and design."--Arturo Escobar, Kenan Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
