Beschreibung
This book is a powerful exploration of how city-central business malls provide a space for a conference between two of the most powerful forces of contemporary culture – corporate capitalism and religious extremism and terrorism.
This book explores the points of convergence between corporate capitalist and terrorist practice. Assessing an increase in the number of terrorist attacks directed at commercial entities in urban areas, with an emphasis on the shopping mall in general and Nairobi's Westgate Mall in particular, Suzi Mirgani offers a fascinating and disturbing perspective on the spaces where the most powerful forces of contemporary culture – the most mainstream and the most extreme – meet on common ground.
