A Brief Bibliography
Marc Augé is Director of Studies at the Ecole des hautes études en sciences sociales in Paris.
Unsettling, elegantly written and illuminating: essential reading
for anyone seeking to understand our supermodern condition.
*Guardian*
Shopping malls, motorways, airport lounges-we are all familiar with
these curious spaces which are both everywhere and nowhere. But
only now do we have a coherent analysis of their far-reaching
effects on public and private experience. Marc Augé has become
their anthropologist, and has written a timely and original
book.
*Patrick Wright*
It is indeed very seldom that one finds it difficult to put down a
book because of the intellectual excitement it generates. Augé's
Non-Places is such a book-a powerful message, modestly delivered,
which stands out as a unique and refreshing anthropological
voice.
*Current Anthropology*
