This revised version of Kaela Jubas’ award winning dissertation focuses on contemporary shopping practices, analyzing the ways concerned shoppers think about globalization, consumption, and their personal effect on the status quo. By using numerous examples from modern advertising, interviews with self-described “radical” shoppers, and selected quotes from scholars and experts, Jubas delves into questions of social justice, environmental awareness, and consumer identity -- all demonstrated by individual choices made at the checkout counter. Employing a variety of qualitative research techniques and complex and counterintiuitive cultural theory, Jubas’s study will interest those in adult education, cultural studies, consumer research, and qualitative inquiry.

"...The Politics of Shopping is an excellent dissertation. Readers learn a great deal about shopping, a site of everyday learning that connects to the politics of consumption, identity and resistance. Not only the thesis topic is interesting, the presentation and interpretation are also extremely creative. Kaela Jubas has outstandingly performed her conceptual knowledge and skills in crafting this thesis to its excellence."... -Professor Pranee Liamputtong, School of Public Health, La Trobe University
