520    This book consists of a collage of images that attempts to
       convey the transformation of consumer culture and how it 
       is related to the urban reshaping of the city of Cairo to 
       meet with the demands of globalisation. Analyzing the 
       shift from socialist economy to the opening up of Egypt's 
       economy, and how this has affected everyday life of the 
       middle classes, the author touches on various themes such 
       as the general changing lifestyles and conspicuous 
       consumption, the spread of mobile phones, and coffee shops,
       the gated communities and secondary resorts. The 
       "folklorisation of culture" through the flowering tourist 
       industry, the expansion of local crafts, plastic surgery 
       and the body as a site of consumption are all analysed. 
       Although being influenced by the discourse of the 
       Frankfurt school on the culture industry, this work 
       attempts to highlight the paradoxes pertaining to the 
       democratising effects of consumer culture without denying 
       the growing flagrant class polarisation. The readership 
       includes: sociologists, historians, Middle East 
       specialists, cultural studies specialists and all those 
       who are interested in integrating visual art with 
       sociological investigation.
