 | I got my first job working in a toy store when I was 41 years old. So begins sociologist Christine Williams's description of her stint as a low-wage worker at two national toy store chains: one upscale shop and one big box outlet. In this provocative, perceptive, and lively book, studded with rich observations from the shop floor, Williams chronicles her experiences as a cashier, salesperson, and stocker and provides broad-ranging, often startling, insights into the social impact of shopping for toys. Taking a new look at what selling and buying for kids are all about, she illuminates the politics of how we shop, exposes the realities of low-wage retail work, and discovers how class, race, and gender manifest and reproduce themselves in our shopping-mall culture.brDespite their differences, Williams finds that both toy stores perpetuate social inequality in a variety of ways.

And she discovers how lessons that adults teach to children about shopping can legitimize economic and social hierarchies. In the end, however, Inside Toyland is not an anticonsumer diatribe. Williams discusses specific changes in labor law and in the organization of the retail industry that can better promote social justice.Why do white women shoppers more often refuse to check their bags at the counter than African American or Latina women shoppers do? Why do male shoppers act more annoyed at having to be in the store than their female counterparts? Based on her experiences working in two toy stores, Christine Williams offers a cornucopia of illuminating observations. By focusing on the various ways gender, race and class influence how we shop and sell, she@Cfffffgÿ¾Û€ (less) | $39  A1Books |

|  | The retail property market has seen tremendous changes over the past few decades. The proliferation of malls outside the traditional shopping belt, with their tenant mix of retail shops, entertainment outlets, cinemas and food courts has significantly altered the community's lifestyle. The increasing globalisation and securitisation of real estate will impact the flow of investments into the retail sector, which has generally out-performed the office sector on a risk-adjusted basis.
