This case study of English shopping centers validates what is self- evident to adolescents: the relationship between consumer behavior and identity. Combining shopper surveys and focus groups with an ethnographic study, the authors--one a professor of human geography--dissect such issues as why families rarely actually shop together, the appeal of particular shopping malls to different ethnic groups, and shopping related to class identification.
