Consumer Culture Theory in Asia

"Remarkably wide-ranging and undeniably riveting, Consumer Culture Theory in Asia offers a deep dive into the socio-cultural, ideological, and experiential consumption underlying precarity and power in the world’s fastest-growing region. In excavating the impact of neo-colonial development on vulnerable populations, the authors plead for socially sustainable consumer culture." Annamma Joy, Professor of Marketing, The University of British Columbia, Canada.

Their work will engage the Consumer Culture Theory community as well as students and scholars from the humanities and social sciences." Terrence H. Witkowski, Professor Emeritus of Marketing, California State University, Long Beach, US.
