These parents struggle with how to handle children's consumer wants, which continue unabated despite the economic downturn. And, indeed, parents and other adults continue to spend billions of dollars on children every year. Why do children seem to desire so much, so often, so soon, and why do parents capitulate so readily? To determine what forces lie behind the onslaught of Nintendo Wiis and Bratz dolls, Allison J. Pugh spent three years observing and interviewing children and their families. In Longing and Belonging: Parents, Children, and Consumer Culture, Pugh teases out the complex factors that contribute to how we buy, from lunchroom conversations about Game Boys to the stark inequalities facing American children. Pugh finds that children's desires stem less from striving for status or falling victim to advertising than from their yearning to join the conversation at school or in the neighborhood. Most parents respond to children's need to belong by buying the particular goods and experiences that act as passports in children's social worlds, because they sympathize with their children's fear of being different from their peers. Even under financial constraints, families prioritize children "feeling normal". Pugh masterfully illuminates the surprising similarities in the fears and hopes of parents and children from vastly different social contexts, showing that while corporate marketing and materialism play a part in the commodification of childhood, at the heart of the matter is the desire to belong. 606 $aConsumer behavior$xSocial aspects$zCalifornia$vCase studies 606 $aConsumption (Economics)$xSocial aspects$zCalifornia$vCase studies 606 $aChild consumers$zCalifornia$vCase studies 606 $aParent and child$zCalifornia$vCase studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aConsumer behavior$xSocial aspects 615 0$aConsumption (Economics)$xSocial aspects 615 0$aChild consumers 615 0$aParent and child 676 $a306.309794 700 $aPugh$b Allison J$01055047 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465753903321 996 $aLonging and belonging$92488121 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02645nam 2200445 450 001 9910818771803321 005 20230126215212.0 010 $a90-04-34682-1 024 7 $a10.1163/9789004346826 035 $a(CKB)3710000001362934 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4865469 035 $a 2017018280 035 $a(nllekb)BRILL9789004346826 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000001362934 100 $a20170413d2017 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 12$aA decade of Ethiopia $epolitics, economy and society, 2004-2016 /$fby Jon Abbink ; with the cooperation of Jean-Nicolas Bach 210 1$aLeiden ;$aBoston :$cBrill,$d2017. 215 $a1 online resource (253 pages) 300 $a"The chapters in this book on Ethiopia 2004-2015 were previously published in Brill's Africa Yearbook : Politics, Economy and Society South of the Sahara 2004-2015.
