Description
The author of the international bestseller Why We Buy — praised by The New York Times as “a book that gives this underrated skill the respect it deserves” — now takes us to the mall, a place every American has experienced and has an opinion about. 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. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Tags

Victoria de GraziaPublication Details
Book, Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2005Links
Description
Tracing the peculiar alliance that arrayed New World salesmanship, statecraft, and standardized goods against the Old World’s values of status, craft, and good taste, Victoria de Grazia follows the United States’ market-driven imperialism through a vivid series of cross-Atlantic incursions by the great inventions of American consumer society. Demonstrating the intricacies of America’s advance, de Grazia offers an intimate and historical dimension to debates over America’s exercise of soft power and the process known as Americanization.
