What does consumption in the global south signify, and how are its complexities communicated in media discourses? This book looks at the media representation of consumer culture in Africa, China, Brazil and India through case studies ranging from celebrity selfies, to travel websites, news reports and documentary film.
"Consumption, Media and the Global South makes a distinctive contribution to understanding contemporary consumption. Iqani reveals innovative insights into aspects of the transnational global south. The book should be welcomed by anyone interested in representation and its discontents, as it provides new perspectives on basic economic and political issues of aspiration, development and consumption." - Jonathan Schroeder, Rochester Institute of Technology, USA
