Description

This book explores culture, race, gender and identity in the marketplace, providing a structured conversation about some of the most difficult issues of the economic valuation of culture and the meaning of cultural subordination. It considers central questions, such as: Can economic behavior be understood without an account of the cultural context in which economic transactions occur? What is the impact of racial dominance on the ownership and control of cultural property? Does control of these modes of expressive autonomy depress the wages and opportunities for advancement of workers who do not choose to assimilate with the dominant culture?
