Global historiography at its best! With case studies from diverse sites such as Venenuela, Iran, Indonesia and the UK, this collection of essays by an international cast of scholars offers a long needed discussion of the complex global forms and affects of the much maligned (sub)urban shopping mall. Vikramaditya Prakash, University of Washington, USA This collection of brilliant scholarly essays sheds light on what is arguably the only building type whose signature has transformed the urban and sociological landscapes of contemporary megalopolises the world over. The metamorphosis of the functional and geometrical principles characterizing the city core has been accelerated by the transformation of main streets into shopping centre, while central, pedestrian street-like spaces have mutated in scale into the creation of urban mall. Janina Gosseye and Tom Avermaete have edited a book that demonstrates that this `(mall)eable' modernist type is far from being a `non-lieu' -- rather, it is the ritual space of a new citizenship.
