Hans Peter Hahn (ed.):

Consumption in Africa

Anthropological Approaches

 


Global Goods are inherently important, precisely because they cannot be resisted, the relations and goods of the larger System also take on meaningful places in the local schemes of things. (Marshal Sahlins 1994:413)

How do small groups, especially families, deal with these new global realities as they seek to reproduce themselves, and in so doing, as it were by accident, reproduce cultural forms themselves? (Arjun Appadurai 1990:17).
