  Demonstrates how ideas about gender, nation and 'race' problematize the taken-for-granted assumptions about lifestyle. This book also looks at the role of advertising in mediating ideas about lifestyle, and the role of material culture in the construction of cultural hierarchies and the positioning of social groups within cartographies of taste.
