Description:

"Conflicted Identities examines the politicization of both public and domestic space, especially in societies undergoing rapid cultural restructuring, when culture identity is being rapidly 'modernized', shifted, or realigned to conform to new demands. Using specific examples from a variety of national contexts, the book examines how vernacular housing, legislation, marketing, and media influence a large, but often underexposed, domestic culture that runs parallel to a more publicly represented one."--Page [4] of cover.
