Consuming Pleasures by Daniel Horowitz
Between 1950 and 1972, American and European writers came to envision consumer culture in fresh, provocative ways. Across national boundaries, they shifted attention from condemnation to critical appreciation, critiqued cultural hierarchies and moralistic approaches, and explored the symbolic processes by which individuals and groups communicate.
"Consuming Pleasures offers a brilliant survey of major transatlantic thinkersHorowitz is an accomplished historian who has mastered, in stunning depth and breadth, the literature on each of his principal subjects. Lucid, elegant, and engaging." * Howard Brick, author of Transcending Capitalism: Visions of a New Society in Modern American Thought *
Daniel Horowitz is Mary Huggins Gamble Professor of American Studies at Smith College.
