The Call of the Mall

Valutazione del libro

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Paco Underhill takes us to the mall, a place every American has experienced and has an opinion about. The result is a bright, ironic, funny, and shrewd portrait of the mall -- America's gift to personal consumption, its most powerful icon of global commercial muscle, the once new and now aging national town square, the place where we convene in our leisure time. It's about the shopping mall as an exemplar of our commercial and social culture, the place where our young people have their first taste of social freedom and where the rest of us compare notes. "Call of the Mall" examines how we use the mall, what it means, why it works when it does, and why it sometimes doesn't.
