Reviews

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
