Raktažodžiai:

The United States has been near the forefront of global consumption trends since the 1700s, and for the past century and more Americans have been the world’s foremost consuming people. Informed and inspired by the literature from consumer culture theory, as well as drawing from numerous studies in social and cultural history, this book tells the story of the American consumer experience, through the continuities and changes in three cultural threads over 300 years of history from the colonial era to the present.

These threads recount the assignment of meaning to possessions and consumption, the gendered ideology and allocation of consumption roles, and resistance through anti-consumption thought and action. Brief but scholarly, this book provides a thought provoking, introduction to the topic of American consumption history informed by research in consumer culture theory. Examining and explaining the core phenomenon of product consumption and its meaning in the lives of Americans and how it changed over time, this forms a valuable contribution to the literature on the subjects of consumption and its causes and consequences.

Readable and insightful, it will be of interest to scholars and advanced students in consumer behaviour, advertising, and marketing and business history.

Recenzijos

This book is essential reading for anyone wishing to gain a comprehensive grasp of how pluralistic forms of American consumer culture were born, flourished, dissipated, and in some cases, were reinvigorated. Starting before the birth of the nation, Terry Witkowski offers a palatable and penetrating look at seven broadly defined eras of consumer culture history. His choice to compare the developments of consumer culture across three threads the meaning consumers attribute to goods and services, gender-role discourses as they pertain to household and macro-marketing phenomena, and resistance to consumerismmake for a compelling and coherent narrative. Chockablock with compelling images, this book is sure to remain a vital reference.

A History of American Consumption provides a much-needed overview of how consumption came to occupy such a central place in the consumer culture of the US. Richly illustrated and meticulously researched, this book makes an important contribution to the growing area of historical research in marketing.
