Reviews
A stimulating volume that reveals the dynamism of consumer identities and lifestyles in Britain and its Empire before Americanisation. -- Frank Trentmann, Birkbeck, University of London, UK and editor of The Oxford Handbook of the History Consumption Consuming Behaviours presents cutting-edge research on consumption in twentieth-century Britain. In putting together these fine, well-researched essays, Rappaport, Dawson and Crowley complicate our understandings of what affluence meant to ordinary citizens and show just how important products and their uses were to people's identities and social lives. -- Matthew Hilton, University of Birmingham, UK Consuming Behaviours is destined to become a key text for scholars and students alike. Covering an amazing array of topics, it assembles a stellar selection of leading historians and above all, showcases conceptual rigor and an empirical range of histories of consumption. -- Lawrence Black, University of York, UK
