'One must congratulate the publishers for their decision to bring together under one cover the seminal studies of one of the central and most influential participants of the on-going postmodernist debate. All readers will benefit from this decision: the 'absolute beginners' - as yet uninitiated in the intricacies of the debate who step gingerly into this minefield of subversive and iconoclastic ideas - will be grateful for the unmatched comprehensiveness and lucidity of Featherstone's survey of the history and current state of the discourse; those who have already fought their way through the essential literature who will still gain enormously from the wealth of profound and original insights and the elegance of theoretical synthesis; and the numberless 'ordinary' readers, simply wanting to know more about the world they live in will find in this book a rich and precise portrait of their daily lives and a sympathetic account of the joys and sorrows of the contemporary consumer. This book is a significant step towards popularization of intrinsically difficult yet culturally central subject matter and toward raising the debate from its intuitive and confusing stage to the level of systematic theory.' - Zygmunt Bauman
'The unmatched comprehensiveness and lucidity of Featherstone's survey.... the wealth of profound and original insights and the elegance of theoretical synthesis.... This book is a significant step towards popularization of intrinsically difficult yet culturally central subject matter and toward raising the debate from its intuitive and confusing stage to the level of systematic theory' - Zygmunt Bauman
`The author reveals a striong grounding in sociological theory and research, leading to some penetrating insights about contemporary consumer life. Uncovering the sociocultural significance of these particular cultural developments is Featherstone's chief concern and he does an admirable job...a worthy addition to the growing body of scholarship focused on consumer culture in the postmodern world - Journal of the Academy of Marketing Sciences
