	Book Reviews on Consumer Culture
	The literature on consumption is exploding in a number of fields - these reviews can help you keep up with an avalanche of new studies and ideas. Students in Richard Wilk's Spring 1998 Seminar on "Global Consumer Culture" each wrote two book reviews. They were encouraged to choose recent books in anthropology and other social sciences.
